AUTOPILOT SYSTEM STUDY FOR HYDROFOIL CRAFT

摘要

This report is concerned primarily with the theory of controlled hydrofoil supported craft and the practical considerations of implementing the automatic control system. The analysis and design which follows is intended to provide an understanding of the possibilities and limitations of the performance of submerged foil hydrofoil craft, and hence a rational basis for choosing the most effective control system. In addition the problems and proposed solutions of controlled hydrofoil design are formulated and explicated in more detail than has been done previously.
