And if by any chance a hydrofoil boat manages to come out of the water its designing will force the hull of the boat to crash back into the water and the hydrofoil gets submerged till adequate thrust is generated for the hydrofoil to lift the boat and carry on.
Hydrofoil sailboat crash. Its multihull hydrofoil design allows the sail-powered vessel to reach high speeds on water. The picture here shows me at the helm and my father-in-law is hanging on. The hydrofoils generate lift only when they are in the water.
As a result of this crash he developed a completely new boat the K7 after enlisting the services of a brilliant designer Ken Norris. The bits in the water are wings. The final inspiration came from seeing the Greek Russian built Kometa craft of the Flying Dolphin fleet right.
Crash Recovery 11 Sep 01 About 1970 I designed and built a hydrofoil called Sabrefoil. At a certain speed the lift produced by the hydrofoils equals the sum of of the boat and cargo weights. With the lift that is generated you can forget about slowly bobbing your way out to sea and crash-landing.
Like an airplane a hydrofoil must be controllable in terms of pitch roll and yaw. Experimental Radio Controlled Model Hydrofoils. As the boats speed increases the hydrofoils create lift.
Of course I crashed went through the windshield broke my nose almost drowned and came down with. It rocketed me at about 30 35 MPH down the Fox River in Illinois. Therefore the hull comes out of the water.
The resulting K7 was to prove a formidable steed that saw him set 7 World Water-Speed records. No need to register buy now. Where are they Used.
