INTRODUCTION TO THE HUGHES HYDROSTREAK CONCEPT

Abstract

The basis of the HughesHydrostreak design concept of water wall vehicles is discussed. The fundamental theory is given, comparisons are made with ari wall vehicles, and preliminary test data an presented. A typical design study is shown, illustrata:ng the advantages of the Hydrostreak concopt over tbe air-wall system and demonstrating the high over-water speeds attainable with moderate power inputs.
