Abstract

Any vehicle that is required to travel at high speed over the surface of the earth (either land or water) should have

(a) Low drag and

(b) Some form of spring suspension.

Anyone who doubts the need for the second of these, for travel over water, should consider the accelerations involved in following the surface of the sea at high speed and observe the behaviour of a high-speed motor boat on rough water.
