Hydrofoil is a kind of boat with underwater wings to provide lift. Lifting hull above water decreases drag and helps a lot with speeding. The design published here has suceeded to reach 150 MPH with considerable weight and only two VTOL nozzles. Yaw to turn, VTOL controls the brakes. Must be careful when it's moving very fast!
