This Trimaran seems more like a House Boat. It is also a HYdrofoil Small Waterplane Area Ship (HYSWAS). Made from Carbon Fiber and Duplex Stainless Steel, the Tetrahedron is 25 Meters (82') long. With a take-off speed of 15 knots (17.2 mph) and a flying speed of 38 knots (43.7 mph) this vessel has a range of 3,000 nautical miles. This ship was conceptualized from the Maritime Applied Physics Corporation (MAPC) ship 'The Quest' (1995).
This Innovative concept vessel can accommodate six passengers. At low speed the yacht sits gently on three underbelly hulls. Long distances are achievable with reduced out-of-water drag and stormy ocean conditions would incur virtually no slamming. It is designed to travel smoothly through rough water by controlling Pitch, Heave & Roll Forces. The pyramid-shaped superstructure will appear to fly low over the water and the submerged torpedo-shaped hull ‘levitates’ the Pyramid out of the water by rotating hydrofoils on the submerged hull.
Can anyone say SG1?
I don't know about you, but this is an amazing idea for a ship.
A Hydra-foil wing gives it lift.
