Self-leveling legs are used to accommodate landing a ducted fan hovercraft
on a sloped surface such as a roof-top. These legs move to accommodate a
variation of slope within their range of motion irrespective to the
azimuth of the vehicle body. The configuration and operation of the
landing legs allow the hovercraft to land in a stable fashion with the
hovercraft vehicle body maintained in a vertical orientation. The basic
kinematics of the present invention is the displacement of one landing
leg upwards is connected by a horizontal member to the opposite leg and
displaces it downwards, and visa-versa. Planar surface contact is
accomplished by the unique curvature of the legs and the splay of the
legs from the vehicle body.
