Abstract
The paper examines the results of an experiment which was designed to elucidate the manner in which wave characteristics, strut geometry and aspect ratio influence the angles at which struts ventilate. The experiment was conducted using small-scale models in a towing tank which allowed the wave parameters to be varied independently. The results indicate which parameters of a seaway are most hazardous to the operation of a hydrofoil ship in high seas and suggest design features which may extend the capability range of such craft.
