l~W-TXP.~ BOAT "ULR COfl9TRUCTIOR __ Tehnika Idarodu, No ).j, 13 A.pr 49
During a recant uontaet, the Savanna Brodarska Radionica (Federal Ship Fork-
shop} built a model of an original boat,, the Yiret boat with an ?ngine above the
rater to be made in Yugoelavin. The model bee an air instead of a eater propeller.
A model airplane engine Se attached to th_ hull by two engine s4pporta.
The ilorkehop has pledged that it will build a Ptizll-size boat by Marshal Tito'e
birthday, 25 May. The hull, already oompleted, is 4.82 meters long and 1.8 meters
ride. The engine, xhich has aJreadq been .obtained., generates 60 horeepoxar. The
engine snpporta and propeller are still to be constructed.
A defeot in this or^.ft ie its lack of etabil]ty, as a?moat the entire motor
]e abase the hull. To inerenae stability, the engine suppo:~te x111 be made of tubes
of 9peoial steel, on xhich the engine will rest in the lowest poesibla p~aitiun.
Tho propeller rill have fou.+? b]adee.
The ner boat x111 be capable of a speed of 70 kilamotera per hour, xhich Se
aroos faster than the present gip. Another advantage is its eballox draft and the
foot that the propeller ie not fouled in ehallox rater.
