Zusammenfassung:A monohull marine platform is provided which includes a plurality of bows each having a flat lower keel. A transverse stern is connected to the bows using an inclined lift surface and a pair of outboard seals forming an air chamber. Pressurized ail is forced into the air chamber to form a pressurized air cushion under the platfomr. Respective water flow channels disposed between each pair of the plurality of bows diminish wave energy during operation. As the platform passes through the water, the platform utilizes a combination of flotation, pneumatic, and hydrodynamic for reduced resistance and drag. Se proporciona una plataforma marina de un solo buque, la cual incluye una pluralidad de rodas, cada una teniendo una quilla inferior plana. Una popa transversal se conecta a las rodas utilizando una superficie de elevacion inclinada y un par de sellos fuera de borda que forman una camara de aire. Se forza el aire presurizado hacia la camara de aire para formar un cojin de aire presurizado bajo la plataforma. Los canales de flujo de agua respectivos colocados entre cada par de la pluralidad de rodas disminuyen la energia de onda durante la operacion. A medida que la plataforma pasa a traves del agua, la plataforma utiliza una combinacion de flotacion, neumatica, e hidrodinamica para resistencia reducida y resistencia al avance.
