Skydrofoil embodies planing principle of hydrofoil and gains proportion of lift from air pressure built up under concave hull; at planing speed it rises out of water on "Skie-Stabilizer", device under bow which automatically submerges minimum surface at most efficient angle and maintains hull at fixed angle; it was designed as prototype for patrol boats, ferries and yachts and to confirm designs for craft to carry 120 passengers at speeds above 20 knots; diagrams.
