Aerosaně byly postaveny na základě dochovaného exponátu v muzeu Tatra.

Bohužel jsou příliž těžké a jejich pohyb na sněhu je "těžkopádný", byl to je prototyp a taky to tak dopadlo.

Jinak majitel Aerosaní má v plánu s nimi jet na zasněžených pláních v USA.

Uvidíme, třeba bude mít lepší úspěch než my na svahu.

Aerosaně jsme dělali ve firmě ECORRA pro americké muzeum LANE MOTOR MUSEUM v Nashvillu.

Aerosaně – Tatra V855 Aerosaně byly řízeny dvěma páry lyží pomocí většího volantu. Pohyb byl umožňován tlačnou vrtulí a mechanický ovládán bubnem pomocí kardanové hřídele. Buben sloužil zároveň jako brzda. Ruční brzda působila na zadní lyži.

The key design flaw is the drive. The way tracks work on sleds is based on the size of the foot print. A long wide surface grips, and holds more surface then that round track, which only puts down a traction surface to equal the width of the wheel. Send these fools back to school. and maybe they will make it half way up the hill, before powering out.

cool ! a restored 40's snow machine.. I would try it on some flat snow fields first though. nice job , tatra v8 sounds good

i dont get it

The main issue in this design is clearly that the rear drive wheel doesn't have enough weight on it. If they had made it twice as wide and perhaps a bit bigger, it would probably have worked. Even better, make the wheel big enough to support the weight of the rear end and do away with the rear ski's and you'd have a modern snowmobile.

They were that close to making the modern snowmobile .. and failed.

i can imagine speedboats with propeller like that would become speedy boat xD

[cjflanaganyahoo]

Completely useless, ugly. I know you should try it in a deep lake I bet it will go great.

[otisspivey]

What an awesome design. Do you have a patent for that yet. I am going to steal your great ideas. NOT it's ugly and it doesn't work. If it did go forward how would you stop ??

[StKetoiL]

LOL FAIL!

[Speedless73]

you call this "successful"???

it seems to work properly only on plane surfaces, bad design.
