Flyak - Hydrofoil Kayak Vs K1 Sprint Kayak

This is a prototype Flyak with hydrofoils blowing by a conventional olymipic style K1. The foils are under water of course, which is why this kayak looks so strange. Capable apparently of a 27 km/h top speed.

Are there someone out there who got measurements/3d-model of the hydrofoil?

sure doesnt look that the amount of time the paddle blades are barely in the water is realistically enough to be moving that fast...  bit doggie i say..

Hi, I am currently working on the development of a new television series for Discovery. We would be interested in including an extract of the above video in our programme and I wonder if you can tell me whether this might be possible? Check your inbox for Details, thanks

Great design. Too much energy wasted by paddle splashes. Needs to have paddles redesigned for this boat.

Well of course that, but the aerodynamic shape of a kayak combined with the hydrodynamic properties of a hydrofoil, and the power of a small engine, this could go pretty fast with awesome mileage.

could be, but still you would definitely go faster with less friction on a hydrofoil

bullshit.. the other guy isn't even trying to race...

lotsoffun - 16 years ago
because you can stroke faster since the friction between the boat and the water is gone a lot
