WATERMAN CO - FOIL

Foil Design

Design of a hydrofoil for WATERMAN CO, aimed at a versatile setup suitable for wing foil, downwind, and pumping.

The final design featured a high aspect ratio main wing with thin optimized foil sections distributed along the span. Special emphasis was placed on pitch stability and dynamic balance, leading to an integrated development of the main wing, fuselage, and stabilizer as a complete package.

Main tools: Potential flow codes for design and performance evaluation.
