I have an extensive background in fluid dynamics. And see that this hull is that of a hovercraft, an air-cushion vehicle. “Surface Effect Ship.” The top speeds are another indicator.
And I did not cheat and go against FReeper custom and click through to the article to figure this out, I just actually read what was posted.

I understand that. And I understand hovercraft. But when seas get over five feet those cushion bags in the front are going to just crumple and fold under with each wave it hits. It will be like kicking it’s legs out from under it which will cause it to nose dive into those waves.
My criticism is about their claims it will be anymore efficient than any other craft like it. Five Foot seas are not smart enough to know the difference between an AI driven ship or human driven ship. It will treat them both the same.
This is more propaganda to sell AI...
