    As a hydrofoil-equipped watercraft increases in speed, the hydrofoils below the hull develop enough lift to raise the hull out of the water, reducing drag and allowing for increased speed and efficiency. However, hydrofoils are more complex and expensive to build and maintain than conventional watercraft, preventing wider adoption. Amateur experimentation with human-powered hydrofoils is popular due to their simple design.

    Hydrofoil as foil supported craft[edit]

    As a hydrofoil-equipped watercraft increases in speed, the hydrofoil elements below the


    hull(s) develop enouh lift to raise the hull up and out of the water! "his results in a
    reat reduction in hull dra, and a further correspondin increase in speed and efficiency
    in operation in terms of fuel consumption!
    A wider adoption of the technical innovations of hydrofoils is prevented by the increased
    comple#ity of buildin and maintainin them! Hydrofoils are enerally prohibitively
    more e#pensive than conventional watercraft! However, the desin is simple enouh that
    there are many human-powered hydrofoil desins! Amateur e#perimentation and
    development of the concept is popular![$]
    A boat equipped with hydrofoils is also called a hydroplane (boat)![%]
