LITERATURE RIVIEW
2.0 Introduction
Literature is a process to review and explore to help process the introduction of new techniques for the design and analyse the shape of the hull. Through this process, all service information and detailed background studies related matters will be published. Each service information published will be understood by the authors to get a little overview and guidelines for the success of this analysis. Among the aspects involved in this research is the theory of buoyancy, stability, 3D scanners and simulations. All these aspects is essential for achieving the objectives of this project. 2.1 History Background
A boats are designed to float and water are used to perform work or as transport over water. Small boats usually used on inland waterways in areas such as lakes and rivers or coastal protected area. However the boat as the ship has been designed for use as a boat in the sea to catch a whale that has been designed for the operation of vessels in offshore environments. Terms of the navy, the boat is a small boat that can be carried on other ships.
6 boats that use wind energy, namely sailing boat movement is based on wind speed. The boats that are installed today are using motor power using petrol or diesel fuel. This is because this type of motor or engine are produce more power for a speed and more advance. Additionally, there is also a boat that can be used on land and on the water surface, known as a hovercraft.
