North American Marine Jet (NAMJ), the only USA (American) company currently designing and manufacturing waterjets, will develop a composite inlet for the NSJ rigid hull inflatable boat (RIB) Project. The inlet will be designed by NAMJ's Research and Development department and its Engineering Design department. The prototype will be built at NAMJ's manufacturing facility in Benton, AR. The composite inlet will be designed to maintain or improve the NSW RIB's speed and maneuverability, while improving weight, corrosion resistance, and ease of manufacturing. NAMJ has the proven ability to offer an inlet design with additional optional improvements and modifications to meet the craft's needs. A hydraulic up-and-down nozzle, which eliminated unfavorable center of gravity problems for the N500 jet in light to loaded conditions, efficiently over-corrects the jet to bring higher craft speeds.
