DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy are presently operating surface effects ships (SESs). The Coast Guard has three WSES craft stationed in Key West that operate in the Florida Straits. The Navy's SES-200 stationed at the Surface Effect Ship Support Office (SESSO) in Patuxent River, Maryland, has recently returned from operational deployment in Europe as part of a NATO cooperative trials program. The WSES and the SES-200 offer operational evidence of the benefits of high speed and excellent seakeeping that are characteristics of air cushion supported vehicles. Future mission scenarios may require speed capabilities greater than those of the WSES and the SES-200 and nearer to the speed capability of the presently operational U.S. Navy LCAC. For the WSES and SES-200 to achieve these speeds and explore future mission capabilities, higher power levels must be installed in the existing craft. Improvements in performance predictions and design techniques resulting from a myriad of towing tank experiments allow accurate calculations of resistance and powering for the WSES and the SES-200 that show the changes in speed and operating envelope for increased installed power levels. Various feasible engine, gearbox, propulsor, and auxiliary equipment options are presented for possible installation in the WSES and the SES-200. (fr).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book details the efforts to build a large naval vessel capable of traveling at one hundred knots. It is the first book to summarize this extensive work from historical and technical perspectives. It explores the unique principles and challenges in the design of high-speed marine craft. This volume explores different hull form concepts, requiring an understanding of the four forces affecting the lift and the drag of the craft. The four forces covered are hydrostatic (buoyancy), hydro-dynamic, aerostatic, and aerodynamic. This text will appeal to naval researchers, architects, graduate students and historians, as well as others generally interested in naval architecture and propulsion.
