ABSTRACT:
A high speed water vessel includes a body having a waterborne hull which is lifted upwardly as the vessel moves through the water to reduce drag forces on the hull. Lift forces are imparted to the hull under the combined influence of rotors and airfoils or wings. The rotors include blades which are located within semicircular-shaped recesses in the trailing edges of the airfoils. Upon rotation of the blades, air pressure thrust forces are applied against the trailing edges of the airfoils to propel the vessel forwardly through the water. In addition, rotation of the blades induces air to flow across the upper surfaces of the airfoils and downwardly at the trailing edges of the airfoils to promote the application of air pressure lift forces to the airfoils. These lift forces raise the hull of the vessel so that the vessel can move through the water at high speeds.
