M80 Stiletto, a 80-foot vessel created by M Ship Co., can stay steady at its top speed of 50 knots with virtually no wake.

Stiletto’s hull has a double-M shape that channels the wake under the craft. There it mixes with oncoming air to produce froth that lifts the ship part-way out of the water, reducing drag and increasing stability, says Greg Glaros, the programme’s leader at the defence department’s Office of Force Transformation.

It is believed to be the first time a demonstration of formal teaching has been recognised in any non-human animal.
