When I worked at Boeing in the late 70's the first jet foil was at the end of it's development. Before it was commissioned the employees were invited to go on a ride on the jet foil which was being built in Renton, WA. We were bussed from the Boeing Field where I worked and spent a good part of the morning on the boat. It was a beautiful boat and an even more beautiful ride. It's one of the best memories I have of working for Boeing.
Уважаемые! Не надо считать других дурнее себя. Такой Boeing Jet Foil уже в 70-80 прошлого века ходил между Канарскими островами,чем немало удивлял советских моряков, к которым и я относился в то время. И надо сказать, по сравнению с тогдашними нашими Кометами,Метеорами и Ракетами он и сейчас выглядит оригинальнее,а тогда тем более!
Наши Ракеты и Кометы ходили во всех уголках СССР, и продавались во многие кап страны....в Англию например. Кстати и сегодня они выглядят элегантнее. Все просрали.
Boeing marine built the 6 US Navy Hydro foils. All 6 were stationed in the 80’s in Key West. I was in the navy and on USS Pegasus PHM-1 82-86. The ships were PEGASUS, HERCULES, TARUS, ARIES, AQULIA, GEMINI. They were decommissioned in mid 90’s. They were bad boys.
I caught a ride on one of those in the 70s just after they were built fro Bremerton to Seattle the pilots had full airline uniform on it was the coolest
George Costarica tf is wrong with you maybe he spelled wrong but come on man don’t take your anger out on the poor guy,and if your going through hard times I’ll pray for you that you get better soon
What a fantastic video. I watched this a number of times and still enjoy it. Very skilful camera work. The Boeing 929 jetfoil is an amazing boat. Love the sound of the turbines.Weel done! Thanks.
yup.. the metal fins that stick out of the water have a sort of upside down "airplane wings" on it that lift the boat out of the water at certain speeds. Creating much less drag and higher top speeds for the boat.
When the ship reaches speed and the hull lifts, the movement is amazingly smooth also it uses less fuel because of less resistance from moving through the water.
@@olddred2717 у нас были не лучше. у нас были проще. плюс у нас рассматривали речной транспорт, а американцы морской. потому они сразу отбросили фиксированные полупогруженные крылья и сразу пошли делать управляемые полностью погруженные.
"Meteor" is the most graceful hydrofoil machine in the history of mankind for today's day. Very beautiful ship. It's not worthless to buy it even in the US from the Soviet Union.
Метиор самый лучший транспорт на пространстве СССР был, пассажирский. Запорожье- Киев 13 рублей. Комфорт, не жарко, курить спецотсек, буфет, удобные кресла, вообще отлично.
@@EBMW-B Да. А говорят в союзе одно гавно делали. Вот за бугром да. А у нас криворукие. Только зилы жигули, и кометы советские до сих пор ходят. Союз ушол в легенду. Если даже идеи Гитлера не умерли то идея Союза с исправлением ошибок - вернётся. Я так думаю!
На такой скорости, парусность уже уменьшать надо, ан нет, главное чтобы побольше народу влезло и бабла заплатило. Кометы и Метеоры-60-70е года, это красота!
Masih inget betull waktu tahun 90 han. Kalau aku plg ke lampung ke jakarta nya naik itu jet foil,cepat sekali cuma 40 menit ongkosnya rp 3000, Sekarang ga ada lagi beritanya.
I think this may be the former B+I Line Jetfoil, 'Cu Na Mara' ( Hound of the Sea), which operated between Liverpool and Dublin in the 1980's. There are several images of her in Google Images.
We have here in Brazil the largest river basin in the world in the Amazon. How good it would be for such boats to breathe passengers and tourists into the rivers of my city Manaus. We have great water and logistic potential.
If they build the two float can spread out and collapse in and with greater length dimensions then it would be more stabilized at any speed plus must had submerged horizontal stabilizer in case extreme high speed prevent from being airborne
Looks very much like the same model in service for the route between Hong Kong and Macau since 30+ years ago, and I remember there are still 1-2 in service now. It looks very Hong Kong and Macau to me and to people in both places.
Это СПК Боинг 929 разработки 70-х годов (хотя конкретные показанные на видео могли быть и произведены по лицензии в Японии)... Чумовой аппарат.. полностью погруженные управляемые крылья... у нас к сожалению до такого не дошли :( толь "линия партии", толь не смогли систему управления осилить...
I have owned Boeing stock. The dollars from aircraft sales are in the middle of the page while all other interests (hydrafoil) are but a pencil mark at the bottom of the page. Few products can compete with the 737, 757 ,767 and 777 However they have not replaced their core engineers and as log as we don't travel beyond the speed of sound they will be OK. Dave Hansen
