* What makes the tunnel hull work? A three-part article written by Jim Russell of AeroMarine Research which summarizes the main hydrodynamic and aerodynamic forces which must be carefully considered and skillfully balanced in the design of a tunnel hull powerboat. While the tunnel hull derives much of its high performance from air lift, it depends at the same time on its planing interaction with the water to maintain a stable and controlled flight. This interdependence of water and air force dynamics is the key to Tunnel design. 2008 Thumbnail | 2007 Thumbnail | 2006 Thumbnail | 2005 Thumbnail | 2004 Thumbnail | 2003 Thumbnail Web Site Snapshot: If available, above is a snapshot of the * What makes the tunnel hull work? web site at http://boatdesign.net/articles/tunnel-hull-design/ as it appeared when this site was added to the directory or last verified.
