An airboat is a flat-bottomed boat propelled by an aircraft-type propeller powered by a motor. The first airboat was built in 1905 in Nova Scotia. Airboats can travel over shallow, rocky water, swamps, ice, and sometimes land where normal boats cannot navigate. The document then outlines a plan to design and construct an airboat using lightweight balsa wood, lithium-ion batteries, a brushless DC motor, a rudder, propeller, servo motor, radio controller, electronic speed controller to maneuver over swampy areas and operate on both land and water, providing versatility.

An airboat, also known as a fanboat is a flatbottomed vessel propelled in a forward
direction by an aircraft-type propeller and
powered by a motor.
The first airboat, called the Ugly
Duckling, was built in 1905 in Nova
Scotia, Canada.
The airboat travel over places where normal
boats cannot go, such as shallow rocky
water, swamps, ice and sometimes-even

3. ACTION PLAN:
To design and construct an airboat by using appropriate
materials and accordingly utilize a motor ,battery and servo
motor to provide maximum efficiency. efficiency.
utilize a motor ,battery and servo motor to provide maximum
efficiency.

4. 
BALSA WOOD : Light weight
with a low density of about
160kg/m3
and has a very high stiffness.
It is easily workable.

LITHIUM ION BATTERY: It is
a rechargeable battery in
which lithium ions move
from negative to positive
electrodes during discharge
and back when charging.
This is much lighter than
other energy equivalent
batteries. Very light weight
and wide variety of shape
and sizes available.

5. BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR : These
are also know as electronically
commutated motor. These are
synchronous motors powered by
DC electric source via a switching
power supply which produces an
AC electric signal to drive the
motor . The advantage as
compared to brushed motor is
that it is very cheap and
adjustment of speed is better.
They can develop high torque with
good speed response . In addition
they can be easily automated for
remote control.
They have good thermal
characteristics and high energy
efficiency.

6. 
RUDDER: It is used to steer
the air boat by minimizing
aero-dynamic drag. It is made
of flat plate section of balsa
wood . It is carved and sanded
to a smooth section.

PROPELLER: Type of fan
that transmits power by
converting rotational motion
into thrust.

7. 
SERVO MOTOR: A servo
motor is a rotating actuator
that allows for precise control
of angular position. It consists
of a motor coupled to a sensor
for position feedback.

RADIO CONTROLLER: It
uses radio signals to remotely
control a device. It is hand held
radio transmitter for the control
of the device.

8. 
ELECTRONIC SPEED
CONTROLLER: It is an
electronic circuit with the
purpose to vary the electric
motor speed, its direction and
for dynamic break. It is often
used on electrically powered
radio controlled models. It
provides an electronically
generated three phase electric
power for brushless motors.

MANEUVER OVER
SWAMPY AREAS WHERE
UNDER WATER
PROPELLER CAN GET
STUCK.

AMPHIBIOUS
APPLICATION(USED IN
LAND AS WELL AS
WATER). HENCE MAKES
IT VERSATILE.
