MULTIHULLED PARTIALLY AIR SUPPORTED MARINE VEHICLE

摘要

A multihulled partially gas supported marine vehicle (30) that uses artificially pressurized gas cushion recesses in supporting hulls (46) is presented. Definitions of critical bow and recess divergence angles and other parameters are made as well as other features including an angled recess aft seal (35), side water deflecting steps (37), and a special propulsor pylon (36) designed to insure that clean air free water is supplied to the propulsor (32).
