  • Submerged planing surface that provides hydrodynamic lift in a liquid at high speed
    Patent number: 10926837
    Abstract: One embodiment of submerged blades (101) that provide hydrodynamic force to a vessel or aircraft (117) that can lift it above the surface of the water (106) at high speed by creating thrust with a single wetted high pressure surface (111), the low pressure surface (112) being covered with a gas filled void in the liquid, thus preventing sudden loss of lift as speed increases due to cavitation or surface venting. Other embodiments are described and shown.
