Fast surface boats or ships

[Jimmy1234]

How about using the "wedge" displaced by a planing hull design with many smaller "wedges" on the circumference of a wheel? Perhaps a tricycle-framed hull with "tall skinny" tractor wheels spinning at high speed. A ship/boat too heavy to "plane" would elevate until the displacement hull was free of the surface. Once free of the surface, the wheels would propel and maintain the boat/ship's speed. The "wheels" would have wedged around the outside and would "drive" water down and back. Thrust and lift would come from the wheels instead of a propellor under the surface. This concept could propel and plane a heavy displacement hull. It would be used as armed escort vessels or Coast Guard missions. Picture tall, skinny farm tractor tires, inflated to adjust to surface conditions. the "V" is backward to act like a "wedge" of a planning hull.
