A hydrofoil is a lifting surface, or foil, that operates in water.they are similar in appearance and purpose to aerofoils used by aeroplanes. boats that use hydrofoil technology are also simply termed hydrofoils. as a hydrofoil craft gains speed, the hydrofoils lift the boat's hull out of the water, decreasing drag and allowing greater speeds.. I would like to build a hydroplane that would be able to achieve somewhat of a plane with a 3-5hp motor on the back but be able to accomodate up to a.... Dihedral is usually reserved for the angle of intersection between two surfaces. it sounds like your foil is canted 5 degrees inboard (which on a boat body is usually the y axis: x forward from aft perp, y positive starboard, z positive down, right hand rule). yes, you use the ordinary rotational transform matrix to calculate the force components..
