HJ-1000

Described as "an amphibious workhorse" in the factory brochures, the HJ-1000 was designed to meet the needs of exploration parties.  It was constructed using standard GRP and could carry a payload of up to 1,000 lb.  Lift was supplied by a single Kohler 42HP K440-2AS 2-cycle air cooled engine driving two  20" diameter 10-bladed aluminum fans mounted vertically at the opposite ends of a transverse shaft.  Propulsive thrust was supplied by two ducted mounted, 42-HP Kohler K440's, each driving a single 30" diameter 10-bladed axial fan.

The skirt was a segmented loop constructed of laminated 16-oz nylon coated with neoprene.  The hull was of two piece construction comprising upper and lower fibreglass bodies mounted on a welded steel inner frame.

The driver sat forward and up to four passengers were accommodated in a wide cabin aft.
