The feasibility of using an air film to reduce ship skin friction

It is the desire of the navy to develop ships with the highest possible speed compatible with other requirements of weight, space, and economy. This is especially true for small boats such as torpedo boats where speed is the main defensive weapon. If the frictional resistance of a ship could be...
