HYDROFOIL CRAFT AND THEIR MARINE ENGINEERING ASPECTS

Upon consideration of a general design philosophy for commercial hydrofoil craft, the percentage weight of some structural groups, published by various authors, are discussed and some data are added according to the present state of the art. Design and analysis problems for the layout of long, inclined propeller shafts, as well as for power transmission by means of bevel gears.
