The resistance of the trimaran is lower than that of a monohull of equal displacement, and because of the side hulls, their stability and usable deck space are higher than for the monohull. trimarans have recently been put into service by austal and the uK navy (gillis 2004). the us navy is experimenting with an m-hull shape for their Stiletto, which is a carbon fiber craft with air-capture tunnels for decreased drag and wake, increased lift, and enhanced ride quality. 7 (undegraph 2007). another variation of the multi-hull vehicle is the pentamaran, which is comprised of a slender hull stabilized by four sponsons (partial hulls).
Wing-in-Ground (WIG) effect vehicles fly close to the surface of the water, but above the waves, at speeds in the range of 100–300 knots (50–150 meters/second) (Gee 1999). The lift of aircraft-like wings and the cushion of compressed air between the bottom of the wings and the sea surface 24 Human Factors for Naval Marine Vehicle Design and Operation maintain the vehicle’s altitude. With no direct connection to the water, the only resistance is aerodynamic drag. these vehicles have been used along rivers, particularly in russia.
