So...at speed...aside from the sponsons occasionally grazing the surface, that narrow, angled surface at the rear will be the only one in contact with the water?

That sounds about right.

Found the Wicks project......
AMERICAN CHALLENGE WSR RUSS WICKS
Doesn't look like it took off......updates seem to have died around 2006.

Yeah, I designed more than I could afford to build.

Are you still working for Lockheed? I've done some aerospace work over the years but never for Lockheed. McDonnell and Boeing. Nothing very exciting...simple airframe & tooling stuff. If I wouldn't have been busy building hot rods as a teenager, a degree and a Skunk Works job would have suited me just fine. Lol
Nice to have you participating. I see you've got some love for drag racing too. We're going to get along just fine. I reserve the right to annoy you with simpleton questions though! Lol

Tell me about it....I'm like a kid in a candy store with this stuff. Super cool. I'd be good for 350+

Wimpering all the way.......:leaving:
Too bad. I would've loved to see how that design performed.
No longer with Lockheed. Simpleton assumptions get annoying, but I'm fine with simpleton questions.
