Hydrofoils


Wolvenhaven

Recommended Posts

Has anyone that has messed around with boats built a hydrofoil? With the damned robotics pack hinges it should be possible to lower them into place. My thinking is that using wings which have lift, they would probably function the same underwater as in the air.

I\'m going to give it a try once I\'m finished writing this research paper, but I wanted to see if anyone had done it.

It works! Here is my really crappy testbed platform.

It uses damned robotics and each hinge is set to a different button set so that once you get into the water you can change the angle of attack. I got up to 80m/s before I accidentally hit W and it nosed into the water and exploded.
