TBPNews #7 1/2 - Happy Thanksgiving 
Our TBPNews newsletter is not due out until next week, but heck, its Thanksgiving so heres a quickie!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>>>>>> Tunnel Boat Performance News >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
==================================================================

1) Happy Thanksgiving! - On behalf of everyone at AeroMarine Research, we would like to wish you all a safe and happy Thanksgiving holiday.  Thanks to all of you for your support and your keen interest in the high performance tunnel boating community!

2) Flying Boat - Here is an interesting play on aerodynamic powerboat design, or on boat designs that operate in ground effect. Klem Flying Boats is the developer of the OutRider line of boats, which are intended to be produced by Ron Jones, the well known hydroplane builder.  The Klem is powered by a 175-horsepower Mazda 13b rotary engine (same engine as the Mazda RX-7 car), a multi-speed transmission and surface piercing prop.  According to Klem, the fact that OutRider 27 travels over 80 miles per hour is not what makes it so special, rather it is the way that it handles such high speeds.  It is an interesting design that relies heavily on some fairly well designed aerodynamics, utilizing WIG (wing in ground effect) heavily. A ski on the front of the boat keeps the nose at the correct height above the water, to help pitching and slamming against the water.  The ski also moves the center of dynamic pressure further fore, making the boat inherently stable. It is expected to travel at 80+mph, and will sell for about $50,000.  While thats pretty steep $$ for 80mph, it is nevertheless, an interesting design.

3) Free Software Deal!  Here are two great software deals that I have been able to dig up.  Both are FREE, and we pay only small shipping costs.

FREE McAfees Virus Scan - If you've never tried the Number #1 Virus Detection & Removal tool before, this is your chance to try one of the best in the business. McAfee's VirusScan captures 100% of viruses, including boot, file, multi-partite, stealth, mutating, encrypted, and polymorphic viruses. Convenient to use. ($49 value)

Note: The articles presented in TBPNews are edited excerpts from the Secrets of Tunnel Boat Design book, by Jim Russell, published by AeroMarine Research.  The STBD book explains the theory in full, and outlines example design calculations, step-by-step.  The Tunnel Boat Design Program for Windows 98, software, does all the force calculations, dynamic force balances at all speeds, and reports the analysis automatically, including complete graphical performance results for any tunnel or modified vee hull design.
