Developments and examples of various types; speed limit for subcavitating foils is established at 70 knots, for supercavitating foils in excess of 100 knots; two basic lift methods; survey carried out by Grumman to predict characteristics of suitable power plants; example of free turbine conversion of simple turbojet to be installed in 90-ton test vehicle; it is found that for large craft gas turbine is superior, for small slow speed vehicle diesel is preferred.
