Successful utilization of super-cavitating hydrofoils will lift barrier to high speed operation imposed by cavitation; main problems are in control and takeoff, and flutter possibilities; large sub-cavitating hydrofoil craft and stable controlled flight up to cavitation barrier are within present technology; aspects of use and environment; design of foil systems; control by variations of aircraft autopilot; foilborne and hullborne propulsion; thrust devices; structure; performance. Before Nat Meeting on Hydrofoils and Air Cushion Vehicles, Washington, DC, 1962.
