Hyrofoils do indeed have a deeper draft than planing boats but only (I think) when the hull is in the water, retracting the foils can shallow the...
In fact torque converter lockup was first introduced back in 1949 by Packard on their Ultramatic, but torque converter lockup didn't become more...
Any wheel always travels a fixed distance per revolution, this being proportional to the diameter. No matter what the ground speed, a wheel always...
Just as a boat is not a car, propellers are not wheels. When was the last time anyone here has seen a propeller turn as slowly as the wheels of a...
The air cushion is maintained by a fan, not by the motion of the boat through the water, I don't see how it's supposed to be more efficient that a...
Do you not know about rigid sidewall hovercraft, which do have an air cushion between the hulls, the draft is shallower on cushion that with the...
Here's a thought, how about an aircushion between the platoons which generates lift whenever the foils don't?
Here's a thought, if a hyrofoil has two hulls, how about an airchusion between them that genetrates lift whenever the foils don't.
Here's a thought, a retractable sidewall hovercraft with wheels in between the sidewalls so that it can park on land?
Here's a thought, how about making the platoons retractable? Generally the platoons would be retracted off-cushion and always extended when on...
