They are from the outside because of the two Allison turboshaft engines used to drive the pump jets on the rear foils. But from the inside it sounds more like a passenger jet...and because it's a hydrofoil, the ride is just as smooth at full speed.

The Boeing Military Patrol Hydrofoils (converted from this vessel) on their maiden voyages, despite design and production changes would develop a small crack on their forward bulkhead (not the civilian version). The crack was welded, with no reoccurrence. ;-) I was able to sit in the Captains seat aboard one (on shore). ;-)

Between Dover and Ostend, search for "Jetfoil Oostende". The RMT (Regie voor Maritiem Transport) used 2 Boeing 929 jetfoils, the Princesse Clementine and Prinses Stephanie from 1981 till 1997 (see Wikipedia). The Clementine is still (2017) active as the "Seven Island Niji.". Flying with these jetfoils was sensational, especially the lift-off. If you were used to slow cumbersome ferries where you would see the harbour and still have time to take breakfast and tour the ship for pictures before docking this was quite a different experience, you were in Dover before you realised it. This ship had to brake pedal-to-the-floor or it would miss Dover and end up in Folkestone..

Why are jetfoils or outboard/hydrofoils not more common? One would think the extended range and speed advantages would make them a HUGE commercial success, and yet, they seem fairly rare? Why IS that? Seriously, I want to know.
@robertjensen10485 жыл бұрын
Speed, yes. Range, uhhhhhh, no. Boats like this chew fuel at rates many times faster than smaller, slower boats. Jet boats are designed for shorter routes. Generally 30 miles are less. They're intended for use as large "water taxis", on routes that large number of people need to traverse. They're a technology that competes extremely well against flights, since there's no way a person can take a commercial flight in a shorter time, due to all the time spent on airport arrival/checkin/boarding/taxiing/flight time/deboarding time combined. Not to mention, these boat rides are a fraction of the price of a flight on the same route. In fact, only a helicopter can compete with these boats, and that would be far more expensive.

No, not especially. Mainly in Europe. Americans are not big supporters of hovercrafts either. In America, they are thought of as mainly "for show". To expensive to design. The American idea is generally, keep the inefficiency, it is too expensive to fix. Of course hydrofoils more than pay for themselves in fuel/time savings.
@herranton8 жыл бұрын
+Robin Hood You realize it's an American designed boat right? Large and fast ferries are rare in the USA because we don't use them. There are few places in the USA that have the population density _and_ the need for a boat like this. The ones we did have were phased out because the maintenance is really expensive. Hong Kong is in the process of phasing them out too. There are simply more efficient means of transportation. We left this in the 1970s where it belongs.
