Our patented, proprietary vessels
are designed from the ground up, using lightweight materials
and complex hydrodynamic and aerodynamic principles that
only Hydrofoils Incorporated has advanced for many years.
Speed, safety, stability, reliability, and efficiency
are our main advantages.
We
provide a stable marine transportation platform with
reduced pitch, yaw, roll, heave, sway, and surge (at
dock or at speeds) while producing almost no wake. Our
hydrofoils fly like airplanes, only using small “water-foils”
instead of “air-foils” to lift the hull
clear of the waves. Take-off, up to speed cruising,
and slow to stop can all be done within a few boat lengths.
The front foil system is shock-mounted, providing wave
dampening suspension to the cabin. The engines are mounted
outboard, airplane style, to provide a modular, simple
drive train change if servicing is required. The entire
engine, gearbox, shaft, propeller, and fuel tank ride
on a pivoted beam and can be quickly removed and replaced.
