Boats With VSTOL Wings To stabilize in Rough Seas
Have you seen those boats for high speed racing that go at 90 mph on the ocean? They pound the waves and in just a minute you are shocked. In actual it's like NFL for an hour! Heck may freeze over, The BC Fire Ants may finally win the Super Bowl!....a use of the science where the plane lifts up by it's own power and then sails sidewise may be of use for these boats. The planes use engines on the wings to make the same flow of the air on the wings as in a usual air plane except the plane is not moving, the lift is the same so the plane lifts up with out going foreward. If the boats had wings on the side of the usual hull (powered by turbo) if they sailed and the seas got rough, the wings would stabilize automatically with each wave, and use sensors to land just where most optimal on the wave, and if the seas got too rough, the boat could just sail above the waves and to return to land. And to go from where they usually lived they would just go by air to the ocean, and then zoom on the ocean from there. They have these motorcycle helicopters that can take off in slow hour, they may add the retractable wings to this.
