Boeing designed FRESH-1 to investigate a phenomenon known as cavitation. At high speeds, a void or bubble called a "vapor cavity" can be formed, resulting in reduced efficiency and erratic operation. The foil system was designed to allow the boat to travel beyond speeds that produce cavitation.In 1963, FRESH-1 achieved 84 knots (96 mph/155 kph), breaking a long-standing record set by Alexander Graham Bell in 1919. Because of a crash during one of the tests, the Navy decided not to pursue testing of a 100-knot (115-mph/185-kph) foil system.BI46884 (BIV16_FRESH-1_01)Maximum size:720px × 480px (~69 MB)License type:Rights ManagedDuration:3m15sKeywords:1960s-adults-bodies of water-day-docking-Fresh-1 Foil Research Hydrofoil-full body views-ground crews-historic production status-hydrofoils-male-other livery-outdoors-prototypes-speed-steam and mist-sunshine-taxiing-upside down-watercraftRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:Research Hydrofoils
