A HIGH-SPEED, air-propeller-driven
boat that literally rolls over the waves
has been proposed by Pietro C. Lombardini,
of England. In starting, the boat moves
through the water on its hull, but once it
attains 50 knots, a series of free-turning
rollers, lowered into the water in place of
the hull, reduces the boat's resistance and
enables it to increase its speed greatly. The
drawing shows an adaptation for beach
landings. As a small aircraft carrier, the
fast ship would make it possible for planes
to take off with a minimum run and to land
at high speeds, the inventor claims.
