Experimental evaluation of the operational properties of snowmobile motor vehicles

Abstract

The article demonstrates the results of the experimental estimate of the speed and load modes as well as operational properties of the oversnow equipment during which a large number of parameters and indicators allowing for their use during designing of new generation of oversnow vehicles have been determined. This work demonstrates the results of the tests in determining speed and brake properties, as well as stability and controllability of the Russkaya Mekhanika’s oversnow vehicles, models RM Buran Leader, RM Tayga Varyag 550, RM Tayga Patrul 800 SWT, RM Vector 551i and over companies’ oversnow vehicles, models BRP Lynx Xtrim Commander 800 E-TEC, Arctic Cat Pantera 7000 XT LTD, Polaris 800 Titan Adventure 155.
