A monohull marine platform is provided which includes a plurality of bows each having a flat lower keel. A transverse stern is connected to the bows using an inclined lift surface and a pair of outboard seals forming an air chamber. Pressurized ail is forced into the air chamber to form a pressurized air cushion under the platfomr. Respective water flow channels disposed between each pair of the plurality of bows diminish wave energy during operation. As the platform passes through the water, the platform utilizes a combination of flotation, pneumatic, and hydrodynamic for reduced resistance and drag.

La présente invention a trait à une plate-forme marine monocoque comportant une pluralité d'étraves chacune présentant une quille inférieure plane. Une poupe transversale est reliée aux étraves au moyen d'une surface portante inclinée et un couple de dispositifs d'étanchéité hors-bord formant un réservoir d'air. De l'air sous pression est introduite de manière forcée pour former un coussin d'air sous pression sous la plate-forme. Des canalisations respectives d'écoulement d'eau disposées entre chaque couple de la pluralité d'étraves réduisent l'énergie des vagues lors de son fonctionnement. Au fur et à mesure de son passage dans l'eau, la plate-forme utilise une combinaison de flottabilité pneumatique et hydrodynamique pour une résistance et une traînée réduite.
