A multi-disciplinary analysis design analysis determining the feasibility and practicability of long-range high speed ships of varied design philosophy is presented. A hydrofoil ship is a dynamic lift vehicle that does not depend upon buoyancy for lift during cruise; as such, it presents an aircraft-like design problem. The small waterplane area (SWA) ship depends on static lift or buoyancy. The sizing and synthesis problem is first bounded using basic principles and linear theory. These equations are used to develop an understanding of the effect of the primary variables upon vehicle performance.
