Sports engineering creates new types of sports equipment and devices and new types of sports related to them. Rowing in general, and academic rowing in particular, is one of the most spectacular and active sports requiring muscular exercise. The disadvantage is that this sport is tied to the aquatic environment. We propose new sport rowing hot air airships and land galleys’’. As for its use in sports recreational and entertaining purposes, the main problem lies in the oars - when moving the oars in opposite directions, it will be necessary to turn 90 0 , otherwise, they will simultaneously push the air forward and backward. We have developed several options for oars. The devices developed and proposed will enrich the arsenal of rowing sports devices as well as introduce new, spectacular, active types of rowing itself.

INTRODUCTION Physical education and sports have been an inseparable part of society and every person since ancient times(1). Sport is one of the most rewarding leisure and health activities for participants; and one of the most exciting and spectacular way to spend your leisure time as a spectator. Some of the most spectacular sports have great commercial potential and generate huge revenues. Sports engineering creates new types of sports equipment and devices and new types of sports related to them. II. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this work is to creation of new types of sports devices and related new sports and sports competitions. III. MATERIALS AND METHODS Reviewing existing sports equipment and devices, their advantages and disadvantages, creation of new types of sports devices for active, spectacular rowing. Rowing in general, and academic rowing in particular, is one of the most spectacular and active sports requiring muscular exercise (2). The disadvantage is that this sport is tied to the aquatic environment. Recently, new sports devices and related sports have appeared - hot air balloons and hot air airships (3,4). The sports associated with these sports devices are very spectacular, but not active - they are not associated with an active muscular load. Hot air balloons, in addition, are uncontrollable, moving in the direction of the wind. Telavi State University has developed new types of sports equipment for rowing. We propose to combine hot air airships and rowing machinery. In the proposed construction (Fig. 1), a light frame made of light and durable material (for example, duralumin) is suspended under the airship, on which seats for rowers and rowing machinery are installed. The oars are made of lightweight material, the blades are covered with light parachute fabric. At the end of the frame there is a steering wheel and a place for American Journal of Engineering Research (AJER) 2022
