A hydrofoil is a boat with wing-like foils mounted on struts below the hull. While, the human powered hydrofoil means the hydrofoil is moved by using human energy. The term "hydrofoil" is used to refer to the foil itself, especially when the airfoil profile has been specifically designed for use in water (such as for a propeller blade). Hydrofoils are now being applied in multiple marine applications. In this project, the student is design a human powered hydrofoil for the purpose of recreation activities.
