US ARMY BEB Program

 

US Army’s Bridge Erection Boats need for

High Thrust and speed

…The only solution is TRAKTOR® JETS

 

 

 

North American Marine Jet Inc. is a US water jet manufacturer in Benton Arkansas. NAMJ manufactures High Thrust water jets called TRAKTOR® JETS  since 1985.

 

North American Marine Jet Inc. is the solution to the US Army’s need for high thrust water jet propulsion systems.  We are listing a few solutions that are unmatched by any other water jet manufacturers in the world.

 

Solution #1 Twin TRAKTOR® JET 381HH

          

Powering the original BEB or new BEB hulls with twin 210 hp engines of choice and twin TRAKTOR® JETS 381HH.  The following would be the actual performance based on testing conducted in US Army BEB MKII hull owned by NAMJ.

 

                     Thrust

                                Forward              6000 pounds

                                Reverse               2700 pounds

                  Speed

                                Light                   30 knots

                                Loaded                22 knots

 

The above TRAKTOR® JET solution would give you 45% increase in Forward thrust over original US Army MKII BEB and USMC BEB being produced by Aluminum Chambered Boats. In addition would give higher top speed light and loaded.

                         

                                       

NAMJ owned US Army BEB test boat performing a static bollard pull test.

          Solution #2 Twin TRAKTOR® JET 381HH

 

Powering the original BEB or new BEB hulls with twin 260 hp engines of choice and twin TRAKTOR® JETS 381HH.  The following would be the actual performance as well based on testing conducted in US Army BEB MKII hull owned by NAMJ. 

 

                     Thrust

                                 Forward              6700 pounds

                            Reverse               2900 pounds

                     Speed

                             Light                  33 knots

                                    Loaded               25 knots

                    (actual loaded speed record with 18 army personnel)

 

The above TRAKTOR® JET solution would give you 55% increase in Forward thrust over original US Army MKII BEB and USMC BEB being produced by Aluminum Chambered Boats. In addition would give higher top speed light and loaded.

  

North American Marine Jet Inc. has many other TRAKTOR®JET solutions for the US Army BEB program.  Please let NAMJ know the criteria that needs to be meet and NAMJ will be happy to provide you a solution. 

 

Do not be fooled by some high speed jet manufacturer's claim to high thrust.  High thrust is relative to what you are comparing,obviously others do not try to compare to TRAKTOR®JET'S combination of real high thrust and high speed up to 35 knots.  The facts are NORTH AMERICAN MARINE JET TRAKTOR® JETS CAN DELIVER MORE STATIC THRUST PER HORSEPOWER THAN ANY OTHER JET MANUFACTURER IN THE WORLD.

 

North American Marine Jet Inc. is looking forward to serving  the US Army BEB program.
