The interceptor placed in the aftship is a completely different technology. The aim is to lift the boat so that the wetted surface is reduced to a...
SD: Do you consider this Uffa Fox design simple or complex, Jurgen? As long as you have not presented a proper SOR, this thread will continue to...
Report the calculations completely, not just the result. JS
I see no need to reinvent the wheel. JS
This is entirely your project. Please leave me out of your speculations and guesswork. JS
All electric boats have a limited range. You have not specified which range at which speed you have calculated. Note, calculated, not wishful...
Yes, in metric units JS
SD What range at what speed have you calculated? This affects the boat's battery weight and thus the total weight. JS
Please gentleman, behave like a gentleman to each other. All theories are only aids with limited validity to the investigated objects. In the...
What units are you referring to? JS
An interceptor is absolutely no step. It creates a lifting high pressure in front with extremely little resistance. It should lie under the aft...
Multistepped hulls in the Philippines [MEDIA] [MEDIA] JS
This is not air lubrication. It's just that it's dry aft of the interceptor. The ventilation is just to make it easier before the air comes in...
You're right, I messed it up. Fn = V (speed in m/s) / [g (9.81 m/s^2) x Length (m)]^0.5 JS
Only the US uses imperial units, the rest of the world uses metric units. Slendernes ratio: L/V^1/3 L=length in meters, V=volume in cubic...
Slenderness ratio is not length-width, it is the ratio between length and total weight. An optimum is achieved between load capacity, interior...
To limit the dialogue, what slenderness ratio is meant here? Maximum and minimum. JS
Semi-planing boats. Why make it simple when you can make it complicated? Follow the KISS rule, keep it simple stupid, according to Dick Newick. JS
How do you prefer boats to be presented? I personally prefer detailed presentations with comparative diagrams and accompanying video. Leave all...
Most of what is described in this thread is obvious to most people. But it is more important to describe how we want it. Even more important is...
