BOEING "JETFOIL" MODEL 929-100

The Boeing JETFOIL is the world's most advanced commercial hydrofoil. With fully submerged foils, automatic stabilization, and waterjet propulsion, it will cruise at 45 knots in heavy seas with a ride unmatched by any other high-speed marine vehicle. In production in Renton, Wash., the first JETFOIL will be launched in the spring and undergo extensive tests and service simulations in the Puget Sound/Pacific Ocean areas. Scheduled commercial passenger services should commence in October 1974 in Hawaii and in Hong Kong. Important technical features are discussed and construction progress shown.
