What, some kind of hovercraft? Pretty sexy.

Pretty cool looking. I saw on TLC they (can't remember who) are working on a craft with a magnetic propulsion system. As it was though, it was only capable of going about 5 or 6 knots. Anyway, it looked cool, kind of like this one. Did you watch the videocast? It looks like the militarys version of E3! Dorks (I can say that, I am one) with machine guns! Looked like a good time!

that looks pretty cool, but were they intending the name to be an oxymoron? That boat's appearance is miles away from looking like a stiletto.

i dont think its nice looking really. it reminds me of 80's sports cars, all those hard lines. but then again they must have some kind of stealth/ aerodynamic advantage.

The Stilleto is DARPA/ US Defence's new hull design for a fast patrol boat that produces no wake at high speed (I think 50 knots - v.fast !). The double M hull design essentially cancels out a wake by having them flow into each other. The design was top secret until a couple of years ago, but it came out when they started making the prototype, though I saw the designs a while back.... somewhere.
