High-speed coastal craft reviewed; surface piercing hydrofoils; Russian hydrofoil vessels; cavitation and supercavitating systems; methods of controlling lift coefficient of supercavitating foils currently being investigated range from mechanical linkages between foils and planing surfaces extended beyond bows of ship, to auto-pilot systems responsive to sonar and radar signals bearing information relative to surface conditions well ahead of vessel. Condensed from Bristol Siddeley Journal, England.
