Preliminary design of a modern aero-hydrofoil passenger vessel(foil craft)

摘要

In recent century deisgn and building of fast vessels with low resistance has increasingly improved. The progress in this area has resulted in hydrofoil and surface effect crafts. One of such new design is aero-hydrofoil that is a combiation of hydrofoil and surface effect crafts. The main goal of such design is low resistance and high speed. To acheive the aforementioned goal main body of the craft is a airfoil (wing) form, that reduces a lot of the resistance in comparison with hydrofoil crafts. wing has angle of attack of 4 deg and in its statical condition it has 3.0 m draught at base line.
