In this paper,the techniques of hydrofoil truing over and maneuvering for berthing and unberthing are discussed, which aims to propose safer practical operations.
This so-called flying boat is the C8, a recreational day cruiser from Candela, a Swedish company whose all-electric hydrofoiling vehicles could revolutionize the way people commute.
When it's time to take off, the hydrofoils retract and the sea glider won't fly within a wingspan of the water surface, benefiting from an aerodynamic principle called ground effect to glide along a cushion of air.
