WEBINAR RECORDING > Electric Propulsion: Pros, Cons, and FYIs
Be it on land, water, or even in air, the drive to become more sustainable and environmentally friendly is becoming more important every day.
With over 100 technical and white papers published in some of the most prestigious boating magazines and, in many cases, presented at major conferences sponsored by organizations such as IBEX, SNAME, and RINA in the short 30 years since our founding. Our hope in this library is to release quality and relevant information to anyone wanting to learn about naval architecture and marine engineering.

Our Thoughts on this Paper
A planing vessel is a high-performance vehicle. A high-performance vehicle is a vehicle where dynamic forces acting on the vehicle exceed the static forces. For planing hulls, dynamic lift from pressure on the hull bottom provide more vertical force than the buoyant force of water.

The International Conference on Fast Sea Transportation (FAST) was held in Providence, Rhode Island on October 26th and 27th, and we at DLBA were thrilled to attend.
Our community has come a long way with the prediction of resistance and trim of high-speed planing craft since their evolution around WWII. We started with model tests to collect data which could be expanded using Froude scaling.

Although the technology had been around for years at large scale applications, pod drives, or podded propulsors, showed up in the recreational boat world around 2005. A new product introduced by Volvo, the IPS, was a disruptor for the small power boat market.
In this presentation, you will discover the synergistic partnership between marine designer and builder, with a focus on the iterative process.
In our estimation at DLBA, seakeeping considerations remain perhaps the most important element of boat design, for most boats. Certainly racing boats and other craft trying to set speed records have a need for speed which is paramount, but boats carrying workers, paying passengers, or recreational guests need to be comfortable.
