Calculate Hydrofoil Lift





Formula

The formula to calculate the Hydrofoil Lift is:

\[ \text{HL} = \text{CL} \times \left(\frac{997 \times V^2}{2}\right) \times \text{A} \]

What is Hydrofoil Lift?

Hydrofoil Lift is the total lift force generated by a hydrofoil, calculated using the coefficient of lift, velocity, and wing area. This lift force allows the hydrofoil to rise above the water, reducing drag and increasing speed.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{HL} = 1.2 \times \left(\frac{997 \times 10^2}{2}\right) \times 0.5 \approx 29910 \, \text{N} \]

The Hydrofoil Lift is approximately 29910 N.
