Pump-jets have a relatively high propulsion efficiency at medium speed and in heavy-load conditions for wheeled amphibious vehicles. However, the geometry of vehicles is very special due to installation requirements pump-jet, which results an obvious resistance on wheels. In order reduce vehicle, characteristics wheels are studied. Regarding pump-jet-propelled its wheel wide range firstly analy...
