When the planing hull is sailing at high speed, the proportion of air resistance to the total resistance increases significantly. Therefore, by studying the aerodynamic characteristics of the planing hull shape, we can analyze the influence of the hull shape on the aerodynamic performance of the planing hull, and find a method to reduce the proportion of air resistance. The research took the planing trimaran as the research object, completed the wind tunnel test, and established the numerical simulation method by solving the RANS equation and combining the k-ε turbulence model. Combined with the wind tunnel test data, the calculation accuracy of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method was judged. Then, four superstructure shapes and two tail shapes were simulated by the CFD method, and the characteristics of the air resistance and airflow field of several drag reduction schemes with a volume Froude number between 7.00–17.51 were analyzed. The research focuses on the aerodynamic force of the planing hull. The results show that the circular arc stern has a more obvious drag reduction effect than the square stern, and the streamlined mid-arched superstructure has certain advantages in the drag reduction effect.
