    摘要: The apparatus is a ground effect ship utilizing a wing-hull to support a passenger cabin piggyback style. Each one of the wing-hull segment includes a pontoon member that, in turn, includes a turbine unit of dual use, either compressing water or air, so as to eject a quantity of water or air for generating a coefficient of drag for slowing one part of the apparatus down for maneuving. In a like manner the apparatus includes a plurality of wingvalve elements that draw ambinet air upwardly and conduit that air into a primary airstream so that a coefficient of turbulence induced drag reduces the lift on one wing-hull segment of the apparatus with the result that the apparatus biases a pontoon on the water while elevating another pontoon into the air, substantially parallel with the water's surface. This mode of operation is sailing-flight.

    摘要: A sea-going craft has a main central body with two wings affixed to the body and extending horizontally away to either side. A catamaran-type hull is attached to each wing end, and provides flotation. The rearward edge of each wing is generally closer to the water than the forward edge when the craft is under power, thus adding lift due to the ground-effect phenomenon. A hydrofoil is affixed to each hull and extends downwardly, and a third hydrofoil is affixed to the central body, extending downwardly. The craft includes propulsion apparatus.
