Any kind of addition such as wings ect regardless of design create drag
which equates to more energy spent slower speeds and less monouvability
only addition that I can see helping at our speed is the addition of fairings to
try and streamline our existing designs why would one want wings(fins) when
one has no laminar flow over them that means they are permanently stalled
in other words not functioning I remember when I used to fly a Cessna 210
I owned a couple of years ago on circuit one of the things one would do is
deploy the landing gear it used to feel as if you put the brakes on I now fly
only helicopters and at slow speeds rely on Thrust I know water is a
different medium but I think the design of most psubs are not exactly designed
to be speedsters after all you not exactly cruising hundreds of miles but
the very fact that they can hover and are slow make them very appealing to me
flying fast through the air is boring but capturing game or rescuing someone in
the mountains is great besides most a/c are so designed that if you let go of
the yoke it will fly its self how boring . at present airbus is training
special dogs to fly in the cockpit with there pilots and they are trained to
stop the pilots from touching the controls the pilots sole purpose in
future on fixed wing will be to keep the pax happy joke .He;licopters
are difficult to handle at low speeds which I am sure my K350 will also be
especially in open seas but I think regardless of how unstable it may be
with practice one should be able to master it where as a stable boat will be
easier to control but harder to manouver.Without proper research any wing design
could make the boat uncontrollable at slow speeds.This Is only my opinion I
could be wrong.
All the best
