An aircraft or hydrofoil wing behaves as a cantilever beam from a structural viewpoint. Structures of this sort have a "flexural center" associated with them. If they are loaded at the flexural center ...

Hydrofoils have been around for several decades ... the flight controller maintain constant height above the water. The wings are completely 3D printed, with integrated hinges for flight control ...

[Wersy] has been trying out different designs for 3D printed RC boats — his latest is a hydrofoil ... the right balance between the pitch of the wings, and the throttle output to hit a steady ...

The 30-seat electric ferry uses a set of computer-controlled hydrofoil wings to fly above the surface of the water, resulting in a smoother and more efficient ride. But what happens when the seas ...

In conjunction with Armstrong Foils, SailGP have incorporated a sacrificial tip on the T-foils which will detach on contact when racing. Top designer Paul Bieker talks with Armie Armstrong on the ...

We're all quickly learning about the environmental benefits of electric vehicles. They're more cost-efficient than ...

The hydrofoil design is finding favour with electric boat builders (see BMW and Tyde’s recent one-off, The Icon), thanks to the low drag resistance of the foils that lift the craft out of the water at ...

The concept of implementing lift-generating surfaces in ship design isn't novel ... brackets where the underwater wings are fixed. This tactic is employed by hydrofoil creators amongst others ...
