ABSTRACT:
A hydroplaning hydrofoil and airfoil planing or flying wing structure is disclosed based on the concept of forward-swept planes or planar surfaces having swept-back fore foil sections and forward-swept aft foil sections upon which the hydrofoil/airfoil structure optionally supports itself and planes on or through a fluid preferably either water or air. Also disclosed are aquatic structures or watercraft to which the hydroplaning hydrofoil/airfoil structures are optionally attached. In addition, light weight amphibious structures are disclosed; preferably these structures are sail, engine, or electric motor powered craft to which the hydroplaning hydrofoil/airfoil structures are optionally attached.
