Abstract:
1. A method for reducing aerodynamic and hydrodynamic drag of a high-speed boat, comprising: providing at least one lift-generating front wing proximate a bow section of a high-speed boat, said at least one front wing having a corresponding at least one front air channel in said bow section; and providing at least one lift-generating rear wing proximate a transom section of said high-speed boat, said at least one rear wing having a corresponding at least one rear air channel in said transom section; at least one of said at least one forward wing and said at least one rear wing being adjustable to generate aerodynamic lift with one of: (1) a neutral; (2) a transom-lifting; (3) a bow- lifting pitching moment about a center of inertia of said boat; wherein:
