This is a book on how to design, build, and fly hydrofoil boats. It
begins with the history and theory of hydrofoils, and continues
with an explanation of flight characteristics, such as; stability,
control, lift, drag, cavitation, and ventilation. Foil
configurations, weight and balance, flying height, and roll
management are covered as well as calculations of stress, hull
configuration, and wing sizing. One section demonstrates methods
for comparing designs, and explores specific design ideas for
motorized, human powered, and sail powered hydrofoils. Piloting and
trouble shooting are followed by a bibliography and index. This
very complete book includes over 270 illustrations, charts and
tables on the subject of creating hydrofoil boats. Because
hydrofoils fly like airplanes, except in a denser fluid, the book's
subject could be described as aerodynamics adapted to hydrofoils.
It is the best book available for hydrofoil enthusiasts. There is
no other book like it.
