    here is the true theory of the aerofoil, and wing in ground effect,
    curved shape + horse power = flight
    So I have a front and rear elevator, allowing me to adjust for errors that my 2 simulators software programs did not reveal, I am following the same procedures as Airbus and Boeing in development of this craft, using the same software as Airbus, I am also following EASA specifications to the letter in development (although its not required)
    I have a lot of experience on aircraft and there build and I have seen some real thumb sucking, it is scary.
    but the aerofoil is very forgiving, I have not found one aircraft that was built and could not fly, I agree that some flew like brick but flew never the less.

    Hull design is of interest when getting the craft out of the water.
    rjbuljubasic@gm - you made an interesting comment to keep clear of stepped huls as these interfere with the aerodynamic cushion.
    Ok, what about the design of the Viking longboats which appear to be almost as fast as a modern yatch in spite of its ancient design. There are some interesting videos on the longboat hull design and why it is so efficient. Your comments on that would be appreciated.
    Cheers

    Thanks for the link Kestrel - there were a couple of other links on the page that I have downloaded and will read at a later date.

    Cheers
