It is the first book to summarize this extensive work from historical and technical perspectives. It explores the unique principles and challenges in the design of high-speed marine craft. This volume explores different hull form concepts, requiring an understanding of the four forces affecting the lift and the drag of the craft. The four forces covered are hydrostatic (buoyancy), hydro-dynamic, aerostatic, and aerodynamic. This text will appeal to naval researchers, architects, graduate students and historians, as well as others generally interested in naval architecture and propulsion. 0aWarshipsxDesign and constructionxHistoryy21st century. 0aWarshipsxDesign and constructionxHistoryy20thcentury. 0aWarshipsxTechnological innovationszUnited States. 0aGround-effect machineszUnited StatesxDesign and construction. 0aHydrofoil boatszUnited StatesxDesign and construction.08iPrint version: z978110709041540uhttps://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781316106716  2ddccEBK
