I went in one of this from Macau to HK, and Boy are they smooth and fast. When the sea is chopy you wish to be in one of these beautys

its a jet, its a plane, no its a jetfoil!

Hydrofoils are cool.

nice video....

Wow, something so big, fangin it like that.. Truly impressive.

Boeing is always the best.

yes, sailing with Macau to Hong Kong,sailing time about 1 hour,service speed about 42-45 knots

When I was in Australia they were all over the Sydney harbor. I've never seen one in the US. They are very cool

They are from the outside because of the two Allison turboshaft engines used to drive the pump jets on the rear foils. But from the inside it sounds more like a passenger jet...and because it's a hydrofoil, the ride is just as smooth at full speed.

Great video.

Nice video. Beautiful to look at. On my river there have been no hydrofoils for years.

I was thinking on those river cities like Cincinnatti why they don't have hydrofoil taxis that can drop people downtown from the burbs and you miss all the traffic

When a plane company makes a boat, it has to fly.

I remember when they used to run these between Dover and Ostend, used to take around 2 hours.Great fun.

The Boeing Military Patrol Hydrofoils (converted from this vessel) on their maiden voyages, despite design and production changes would develop a small crack on their forward bulkhead (not the civilian version). The crack was welded, with no reoccurrence. ;-) I was able to sit in the Captains seat aboard one (on shore). ;-)

Almost makes you think that future we all dreamt about in 65 had arrived. Hydro to the Shuttle Port then to International Space Station 4 to Lunar Base Armstrong then to the international Mars Colony. Then to the Astoroid mines. Preparing to explore the Jovian moons next.

We had one run out of Seattle on Puget Sound for a few years. We have a turbine powered cat doing the same run between Seattle and Victoria, Canada now.

AMAZING

awesome ! :)

i rode one of that in Hong Kong! going to MAcau its a great experience,

I need to get one of these for Ferry service in the Gulf of Mexico

Nice video

Sorry, aviation OCD over here, it's Kai Tak. Nice job with the recognition of the high rises to determine the location of this video.

I saw these in Sydney ...long time ago.

Singapore 🇸🇬 Harbour Front centre and Tanah Mera Ferry Terminals Are deep enough to handle any high speed crafts such as this Boeing Kawasaki Jet Foil high speed craft as shown.

They need to have these on Deadliest Catch.

riga latvia had these on the daugava river in 90s public transportation.

So bloody fast !

Jó kis gép !!

I rode old Soviet-built hydrofoils on Adriatic - very comfy, and noise is like in a bus. They are in use around the world - see "Hydrofoil" on Wikipedia (no links here, it would seem...)

It's like a flying boat in the sea

Este tipo de barco estuvo navegando en aguas Canarias hace treinta años o màs LAS PALMAS DE GRAN CANARIA - SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE ( ESPAÑA) CONOCIDO COMO EL JET FOIL

That thing is burning a loooooottttttttt of fuel.

Sweet

The Jetfoil uses the principle of lift created by ocean waves just like Aeroplane wing concept.

less than a standard ferry would running at normal load, actually. Once up on the hydroplane runners it can be anywhere from a 70-90% efficiency versus the 10-30% of a normal ferry. Efficiency being the drag coefficients

Super boat

@danpeterson6 may be 40-45knots

สวย

Its a boat that identifies as a airplane. 2018 problems lol

It takes an hour on this ship to get between Macau and Hong Kong. Ride on this thing a couple times. Truth, this thing is pretty comfort and fast. Just saying :)

je veux aussi un bateau comme celui lâ !!!

The world's largest waverunner.

wow! incredible ...is possible avoid the enormous water resistance with used hydrofoil

its 4:40 and I'm here. Win.

KZread has a "new" stabilize feature. Try it

Hauling commuters and making sushi in its wake.

actually jetfoils use convection to glide on top of the water so they dont really use as much as it may seem

That so cool man I going to make that can you tell me how did they make that?

That is 100% Correct, just look at the flag on the stern or bow of the ship.

Boeing has been building hydrofoils since the 60's.

crazy XD

We used to have one from Belgium to England across a sea?

does anyone know the speed of the foil? thanks

Looks like the first comment also made the first fail ! Nice vid btw.

Tosk!

so is this considered flying or sailing

FUCKING AWESOME

I hadn't though of that, that may be a valid point, but on the other hand, above those foils is STILL a fully capable ship. Just sayin'.

The claims are it can reach speeds of 70 mph plus however the best ride is around 53 with the best flue consumption

AHHH! who are you guys! were star fox!!

i hear the 929 can do 60 to 70 knot if not loaded an half full of fuel. they operate at about half throttle when used like they are an full of people the fuel they burn at full chat is staggering.

what are the advantage of this technology other than reducing drag and fuel efficiency?

It's 4 o'clock in the morning. how did I get here?

This is the future if people plan on not wasting fuel on polishing ships belly with tonnes of water.

Can anyone tell me if there is boat like this for sale?

They run between Hong Kong and Macau for nearly 30 years (now maybe other destinations). Already part of every day life there. Filled with gamblers hoping to turn millionaires :-) Good quality and stable video. Did you shoot that from another Jetfoil back terrace?

is that the boat from enter the dragon?

Correct me if I am wrong, but was there a Jetfoil service between London and Ostend? Seeing this video made me recall a photo of one travelling down the river Thames.

Between Dover and Ostend, search for "Jetfoil Oostende". The RMT (Regie voor Maritiem Transport) used 2 Boeing 929 jetfoils, the Princesse Clementine and Prinses Stephanie from 1981 till 1997 (see Wikipedia). The Clementine is still (2017) active as the "Seven Island Niji.". Flying with these jetfoils was sensational, especially the lift-off. If you were used to slow cumbersome ferries where you would see the harbour and still have time to take breakfast and tour the ship for pictures before docking this was quite a different experience, you were in Dover before you realised it. This ship had to brake pedal-to-the-floor or it would miss Dover and end up in Folkestone..

@DATBOIPatGMAIL passenger ferry~~~~

James Bond's?

It's totally funny :-D to look on it

I bet it's pretty economical to run and maintain.

355am Hawaii time how did I get here as we'll

Well, apparently you like to look at cool shit in the wee hours of the morning.

it's fast and the weather is awful on this day.

用左幾十年仲係咁靚

so it is 4 in the morning and how did you get here? the same way I got here at 6:50 pm 4 months later

is this less bumpy than a catamaran or the same?

@jwgmail

+tega banega Less because the hydrofoils do not respond very quickly to a wave hitting it. May be bouncy, but not "jarring" like a wave hitting a hull in the water, especially if the catamaran is lightweight
