Have you, in your searches, come across anything about Peter's "Wave Strider" too? And if it makes the ending of the Rohr SWCM story any...
Simply put..no. M-Ships craft was indeed was an "inside deal"..a boat that came out of nothing but connections. Not to imply that there have not...
Great flashback there...the "Sea Viking" surface-effect-ship, or SWCM. The choice of that platform option was not influenced by lobbyists or...
My company has been fabricating various underwater appendages in titanium for almost 10 years now. It is lovely 'stuff' to design and build with...
That's good to hear; this is the first year I've given it a try and have not pulled her since it was applied to see the results. As proud of the...
What K1W1 said. I'm surprised Rodriguez is still trying to maintain that illusion of his. The amusing part, if there even is an amusing part to...
Its simple geometry really. As stabilizer designers, we adhere to Moore's Law when ever and where ever possible in the sizing of the equipment....
All of that. :cool: I've been involved in the model testing of more actively-controlled vessels than I could count without some serious...
I hadn't seen that before advertised from RR. I notice that feature is only available on the larger models in the product range. I would be...
That simply refers to the fact that with most installations, the rotors will extend beyond the deck or rub rail edge when deployed. The same holds...
You speak of "the discrepancy" as if it is a natural outcome or foregone conclusion of model testing. I vigorously beg to differ. Can a model...
This is true...as far as it goes.;) The magnus effect rotor system operates in a "sweeping" mode at zero speed and "rotation reversal mode/not...
Great to see some info on ex-Eco; I was conducting sea trials with a different Blohm & Voss vessel, also a very high speed one, at the same time...
Ironic..isn't it? The USN/ONR Sea Fighter catamaran was designed and built by experienced aluminum high-speed ship folks from US and UK and was...
Well..between my post and K1W1's, that takes care of everything except RINA, KR and GL....doubt I'll bother to drag those off my book shelf.:D
#chuckle# Being one of those marine engineers who lives and breaths the class rules on a daily basis, I did some multi-tasking; whilst reading...
And you stated it much better than I... ;)
I have designed and helped to build a large number of waterjet vessels; yachts, commercial and military. Jets have their place and for high-speed...
x2. The actuators bleed out naturally when you cycle them through their stroke range. The only time this is not the case is for the few stabilizer...
