  1. 11. Optimal configuration of the mechanical structure and flap actuator for hydrofoils

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Avd.)

    Author : Stanislav Minko; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Hydrofoil vessels are becoming more popular and driving marine development forward. Since the water friction is greatly reduced, they allow achieving higher speeds and electrification of the boats. FoilCart is a full electric active controlled hydrofoil boat designed as a research project at KTH. READ MORE

  3. 12. Conceptual Design Study of a Foil-Trailer to AUV 62-AT

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Jacob Zeidler; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Swedish Navy has been using the AUV62-AT for submarine hunting training successfully for a while and it has been found that the biggest drawback is the transport which is very resource draining. The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration was given the task to solve this and a hydrofoiling-trailer was seen as a potential solution. READ MORE

  5. 14. Composite Hydrofoil Manufacturing For An Autonomous Surface Vessel

    University essay from KTH/Marina system

    Author : Anton Svensson; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The use of composite materials has been common in small craft boat building for a long time. In recent years, there has been a huge push in the development of different types of appendages such as hydrofoils. These hydrofoils are commonly manufactured in carbon fibre composites, due to high requirements in weight and stiffness. READ MORE

  6. 15. Development of GUI Supported Simulation Software for Hydrofoil Craft

    University essay from KTH/Marina system

    Author : Alexander Meldrum; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Abstract In this thesis work, a model to simulate motion of hydrofoil equipped craft has been developed. The thesis work only analyzed hydrofoils of V-foil configuration. The model operates in the time domain and gives the user results such as trajectory, speed and stability. READ MORE
