Motion and Propulsion Prediction for Airboat

Airboat is a ship that uses a propeller above the surface of the water. This is used to reduce the occurrence of problems if the propeller is immersed in water, for example, such as being entangled in plants, hit by wood, and other object disturbances. So the calculation of the ability of the propeller thrust will be different from that in water. In addition, the movement of the hull is also taken into account due to the shape of the planing hull. The shape of the hull like that can make the ship fly over the surface with poor stability at certain speeds. Apart from that, the initial resistance value is needed before the ship's hull experiences lift. So it is necessary to match the propeller thrust and the ship's resistance value to produce a certain speed
