CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A HIDROFOIL CRAFT HAVING FORWARD AND AFT FOILS

摘要

A separate pairs of starboard and port control flaps are provided on the aft. foils, while the forward foils, also provided with flaps, are carried at the lower end of a pivoted strut which acts as a rudder. Craft motions are sensed by gyroscopes and accelerometers which produce ! signals for controlling the flaps to provide smooth riding characteristics and a minimum of acceleration on passengers and crews for all seaway conditions.
