| Skirt<\/th> | Description<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> |
|---|---|
| PMX1<\/td> | The original Turbo Hovercraft skirt from 1984. Typically rounded profile as was common then. Optimised for better material efficiency.<\/td><\/tr> |
| PMX2<\/a><\/td> | Functionally the same as the PMX1 but made from separate panels allowing specific materials for each part. Designed for a wear panel to resist the abrasion.<\/td><\/tr> |
| PMX3<\/a><\/td> | Owen Ellis’ version of the PMX2. It has three sections on the top compared to the two on the PMX2 giving a more rounded profile.<\/td><\/tr> |
| PMX4<\/a><\/td> | A design melding the smooth round profile of the original skirt, the multi-material use of the PMX2 and designed to minimise material offcut waste in manufacture.<\/td><\/tr> |
| PMX5<\/a><\/td> | The next development in this series of skirt shapes. The PMX5 panels became regular shapes further reducing offcuts by better nesting for cutting. The top panel narrows to the width of the width of the segment simplifying fitting to the hull<\/td><\/tr> |
| PMX6<\/a><\/td> | The minimised skirt. This is as about as minimal a skirt can be with a wear panel. Very angular and very fast to cut and sew.<\/td><\/tr> |
| PMX7<\/a><\/td> | This is the last iteration of kind of skirt construction. Designed specifically to be cut from 1500mm (60″) material the PMX7 has virtually no offcuts, minimising material cost. Still quick to sew together having all flat seams. Easily done on a domestic sewing machine by builders with no sewing experience.<\/td><\/tr> |
| PMX9<\/a><\/td> | A new approach to extended segment configuration. This is a Cap Finger skirt. It has a simple Finger typical of the fingers on large hovercraft and a top part, the Cap, that retains it. The Cap itself consists of two identical pieces of material with a single joining seam. Both the Cap and Finger are attached separately to the inner tie. The profile of the PMX9 is quite angular.<\/td><\/tr> |
| PMX10<\/a><\/td> | Another Cap Finger skirt using a finger similar to the PMX9 but with a three piece rounded profile Cap for owners that prefer a rounded skirt. The finger is bolted to the cap allowing for quick field repairs.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n The PMX7 is the latest and best version of the multipanel type skirt and the PMX9 is the new standard for advanced skirts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All skirt drawings are in PDF format and sometimes distributed in a ZIP file.
