The surface effect ship is a fast ocean-going ship employing a self-generated cushion of air for lift support, reduction of resistance, and reduction of rough water loads and motions; such ships are envisioned as capable of approximately 85 knots in sea state 4. This paper describes the salient features of such craft, sets forth the regions demanding greatest engineering development, and explores the problems associated with multithousand-ton ships moving at 100 knots in open sea conditions.
