performed by Voyageur
through May and June for the
Canadian Coast Guard.
Operations will be from the
community of Hay Rivett
Finally,_the schedule calls for
the craft to return to
Tuktoyaktuk fOr' summer trials
in the Arctic. This will include
tasks across the tundra, which
cannot 'be crossed by conven-
tional vehicles during warm
months.
Voyageur exerts only a third
of a pound per square inch of
air pressure on • its operating
surface—leaving the delicate
ecology of the tundra unaffec-
ted. •
The northern trials follow
four months of successful trials
in the Great Lakes. NTCL has
been operating the craft since
accepting delivery on behalf of
the 'Ministry of Transport .at
Toronto in August 1972. ry
For trials on the lakes, the
craft was equipped`with»a small
moveable crane at the bow end
of its forward 40 - by 34 -foot
cargo deck. The crane was
designed and built by Bell
Aerospace Canada.
The- range of duties perfor-
med with Voyageur on . the
Great Lakes, tincluded buoy
handling using the deck -
mounted crane, barge towing,
cargo hauling and operatidns
with a helicopter. •
In October, helicopter lan-
dings were conducted while the
craft was ° both afloat and
moored. These are believed to
he the first operations of a
helicopter from the deck of an
Air0i'Cushion Vehicle.
The Voyageur traveled
through the locks and channels
of the Welland Canal in record
time, less than three
'hours—compared .with 12
hours needed for ordinary
ships.
Sihce it rides on a cushion of
air and leaves no wake, the
Voyageur traveled at hp to :30
miles an hour through the 28 -
mile canal .

the Voyagey,r is able to traverse
land, water, snow, ice and mar-
shy areas. „
The vehicle . is capable of
hauling a 20 tci 25 - ton payload
on a rugged flatbed structure
composed of welded aluminum
extrusions. .
Voyageur's critical com-
ponent designs such as tran-
smission systems, lift fans,
propellers and skirt elements
have been proven in more than
150,000 hours of operation.
The craft's two 1,300 -shaft
horsepower UnitedAircraft of
Canada -ST. 6 "Twin -Pac"
power plants are designed for
reliable coldweather starting
and operating. With a multi -
fuel capability, the engines
have been proven- in more than
five million operating hours.
The Voyageur is composed, of
11 modules that may be rapidly
disassembled ,, into easily -
handled units for shipment by
rail, water, air and road, and
'then rapidly reassembled on
site. 1
For its trip north, the
Voyageur components ,were
carried in -four C-.130 Hercule's
aircraft while the , fifth eats
required for spares and gear
needed for northern operations.
Bell has determined that the
basic craft can be shipped in
only three -flights of a stretched
version of the C-130.

More than thlrty
snowmobile deaths
More than 30 deaths in-
volving drivers and passengers
of snow •vehicles have been
recorded during this winter
seaoon •in 'le' Province of On-
tario. The O.P.Y. have in-
vestigated 2:3 of these life
wasting occurrences which
claimed 21t persons. •
The greatest loss of life from
a single cause occurs when
machines travelling on lakes
and rivers crash thrc'lugh the
ice.
In the majority of cases
r>ru,ltjpi.e death un olving..lu.►th
drivers and' passengers are the
result. To date 14 persons have
died in only 9 separate
.inkings.
In spite of constant warnings
operators fail to recognize' ob-
vious dangers and the
inevitable tragic outcome. The
shock of being plunged - into ice
cold watol- and the rapid
paralizing effect on the body
are quick to render the victim
helpless. Add to this the over-
powering _ weight of heavy,
water -soaked, winter clothing
and you complete th,e fatal
combination. .
The obvious danger per.i(ids
are most certainly at the begin-
ning and end of the season or
during' prolonged periods of
milder weather. However, other
factors also influence the
thickness, duality and the
presence of ice: fast moving
current, underground springs,
pressure cracks and the
separation of ,ice fields. There
can never' be any period of
guaranteed safety.
The OTT.- urge the drivers
of snow vehicles to exercise the
___utmost .c►C. A:.a, ion- when driving_
on ice. You can never give too
much „ respect to those things
that will take your life.
