Results of studies related to small craft of high-speed planing hull type, both military and civil; in general, these are of 30- to 100-ft size category, with desired maximum speeds in 25- to 40-knot range; combined power system is analyzed for loiter/cruise/dash patrol missions, and operational tradeoff flexibility that may be realized is illustrated; comparisons of existing gas turbine engine types and their utilization in marine propulsion systems with pump-jets and propellers of both fixed and controllable pitch configurations are included.
