| Keywords: 330-PSA-300-62 (USN 711144): Hydrofoil Airplane. The U.S. Navy performed successful test flights of an experimental seaplane fitted with a super-cavitating hydrofoil system. Success of these test flights is another important step in the U.S. Navy’s efforts to improve seaplane operations in rough waters. The aircraft used for these tests is a Coast Guard, JRF-5, loaned to the U.S. Navy for these tests. The single, high-speed foil is mounted between ventilating struts below the aircraft’s center of gravity. The two skis extending forward of the bow stabilizes the aircraft during landing and takeoffs and prevents diving in the event the foil is damaged or destroyed. The tests were conducted for the U.S. Navy’s Bureau of Naval Weapons by the EDO Corporation of College Park, New York. Photograph released October 8, 1962.
