Capabilities of helicopter towed hydrofoil craft system are examined as functions of cruising speed, pallet size, payload and hydrofoil effectiveness; ferry and Airborne Weapon System missions; comparisons made with large AWS hydrofoil boat; hydrofoil lift/drag ratio of at least 8 is needed to fully exploit sea pallet concept; optimum pallet gross weight is indicated to be about 4 times helicopter weight, increasing as function of hydrofoil lift/drag.
