I'm wondering if this solution lands too much in between usable options.
Long sea passages might have rougher weather which is not great for hydrofoils and might be too long for battery ranges. In short passages in inland bodies of water (with better wave conditions for hydrofoils and friendlier to battery ranges), do you have enough distance to start gliding in order to get the benefits of hydrofoil?
- simonbarker87 3y agoThe high speed ferry on Lake Como uses a foil (although not as smooth as this, I’d almost say it is semi-flying perhaps) and there is more than enough distance between the ports to benefit from this Candela boat. The slow stopper ferry probably wouldn’t be a good option for this foil version (depends on acceleration time to flight I guess) though as the stops are pretty close together.
