Uses for Hydrofoils

The uses for hydrofoils are really only limited to your imagination.

on just your feet (AYRS 22),

and anything else that you could imagine. Hydrofoils are used to increase maximum speed of watercraft and to decrease the drag of the watercraft through the water. They are used to help water planes take off in shorter distances and to give tourists a smoother ride accross the English Channel. There really are no limitations to what can be built with foils as long as physics is obeyed.
