<p>There is disclosed a foil system for hydrofoil vessels, where the foil system lifts and carries the total weight of the craft at speed, and comprising a number of adjustable control fins/-surfaces (3-5), supporting legs (7-9) between the foil system and the hull of the vessel, and means to adjust the control fins/-surfaces. The foil system is characterized in that it is formed by one single approximately horizontal foil body comprising two generally mirror symmetric foil arms (1, 2) which extend aft to each side in almost equal angle, in that the forward corner of the angle lies in the centre line (11) of the craft, and the foil arms extend aft to each side in an almost equal angle (12) with the longitudinal centreline (11) of the craft.</p> |
