Re: Progression of the Bi-Directional Hydrofoil

I think the twintip foil is more interesting at the moment than directional foils.
Directional foils are easy to figure out in technical terms and will be the most efficient.
They are now at the stage where making them cheaper is almost the most important part.
Twintip foils are a very interesting compromise and I will be interested to see where they end up.
Until they have been developed to somewhere near where they can go, we don't know the limits.
They may have a place for beginners. Something may be found that has applications elsewhere.
Its a new research area.
