Abstract

A planing hull is supported almost entirely by dynamic forces and so its elevation and trim angle relative to still waterline vary uniquely with forward speed. In this chapter we will look at the influence of various hull parameters on the drag and trim of a planing hull and planing air cavity craft (ACC).
