Very nice. Those front foils must have an interesting folding mechanism.
I think it would be even slicker if the front foil were an inverted "T"
shape, possibly acting as a front bumper when in the up position. Of course,
this
would then require a computer controlled "flight control" system to keep the
thing flying (like the Boeing hydrofoils use). This would be much more complex
than the inherently stable V foils they are using on the front, but would
look even nicer on the water.
How long before this machine is on Ebay?
