[L'hydroptère] se justifie à chaque fois qu'il est souhaitable de disposer d'une plate-forme très stable: ce peut être le cas des utilisateurs militaires, lorsque l'hydroptère est utilisé comme plate-forme de tir. D'où l'intérêt manifesté par l'U.S. Navy et l'OTAN: côté vitesse, des progrès peuvent être attendus de l'utilisation sur les ailettes de profils cavitants et super-cavitants (profils à "base ventilée", etc.). 3, record 1, French, - cavitant
