Boeing launched its first passenger-carrying waterjet-propelled hydrofoil, the JETFOIL, in April 1974. It could carry from 167 to 400 passengers. Boeing built nearly two dozen JETFOILs for service in Hong Kong, Japan, the English Channel, the Canary Islands, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia.BI231375 (r1509)Maximum size:1491px × 1488px (~6 MB)4.9in × 4.9in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1970s-bodies of water-commercial-dark-exteriors-full body views-ground shots-head on views-hydrofoils-Jetfoil-left front views-muted colors-oceans-other livery-out of production-passenger helicopters-photos-sunrise-sunset-twilight/dusk-watercraftRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:Commercial Hydrofoils
