The radical solution to the ship resistance to forward caused by waves:

Profiles studied in wind tunnels and their polars are exploitable hydrodynamic, if we consider the conditions of cavitation and ventilation, and call them foilers or hydrofoils

Apart from these considerations, the phenomena of lift and drag can be calculated with the data of Cd and CL aerodynamic as they are related to the number of reynolds.

hydrofoil de hpv

the use of hydrofoils, allows to use of the quality lift / drag ratio of the profiles to raise the hull above the water surface, and thus drastically reduce the forces of resistance due to surface effects (wave resistance).
