Method and apparatus of various embodiments of a planing boat or vehicle supported by a system of three cambered planing surfaces, comprising two transversely set apart forward surfaces generating on their inner edges two counter-rotating tip vortices resulting in an ascending flow further aft downstream of the gap between these two forward surfaces, and one center aft surface, which sections are displaced higher vertically and inclined nose-dive relatively sections of the forward surfaces by the height and slope angle of the ascending flow at their location, so that the angles of deadrise and moduli of negative angles of inclination of the aft surface gradually increase along the span from the center plane outwards, embodying in special angular and spatial relative arrangement of said three planing surfaces and configuration of the aft surface with its half-planes curved upwards and twisted downwards in a substantially hyperbolic manner.
A planing boat or a vehicle with its center plane, which boat or vehicle is moving at a speed corresponding to a Froude numbers of about or greater than 3 and employing to support at least a part of its weight at least one hydrodynamic system of three cambered planing surfaces with its center plane coinciding or being parallel to the center plane of the boat or vehicle, while said cambered planing surfaces skim along the surface of water and supposed to generate dynamic lift by means of only positive hydrodynamic pressure on their facing downward profiled wetted surfaces, and vertical longitudinal sections of said cambered planing surfaces feature base lines coinciding with the hydrodynamic base lines of their cambered profiles, which system of three cambered planing surfaces comprises:
