Hydrofoil boats use a specially shaped hull to lift the boat off the surface of the water as it gains speed, reducing drag and enhancing speed and fuel efficiency. As such, they have become ...

[Wersy] has been trying out different designs for 3D printed RC boats — his latest is a hydrofoil! He based the hydrofoil’s profile off of NACA 63-412, a typical profile for sailboat hydro ...

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 boat features a hydrofoil design, whereby the hull is lifted almost entirely out of the water when up to speed, lowering drag and therefore improving range. Swedish electric boat builder ...
