The result is a highly maneuverable and comfortable commuter boat that combines aerospace technologies with the best features of a marine vessel. The water jet-propelled boats use fully submerged, computer-controlled steel foils on an aluminum hull. When foil-borne, the vessel produces a very small wake.BI212430 (r1053)Maximum size:5100px × 4100px (~59 MB)17.0in × 13.6in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1970s-beaches and coastlines-blue-blue skies-boats-bodies of water-Boeing livery-buildings-cities-clear skies-copy space-day-exteriors-full body views-gray skies-ground shots-haze-hydrofoils-Jetfoil-left side views-out of production-passenger helicopters-photos-red-reflections-sunshine-taxiing-text-tilt views-urban areas-whiteRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:Commercial Hydrofoils
