    15 pages of night time reading about LCAC and JMAC skirts.

    Summary
    A new method has been developed that incorporates the three essential components for ACV dynamics: wave hydrodynamics, skirt structural deformation, and air cushion flow..............................

    Hi all, I have the 1988 edition of Marchaj's Aero-Hydrodynamics. I am wondering if much has changed since then, or in other words, can I still use this book as one of the best references on all the topics, or is something missing or just plain wrong after 20 years of advancement in the industry?

    If there are short comings, any suggestions on how to fill the gap?

    Thanks!

    Grant
