    The NEWSLETTER International Hydrofoil Society P. O. Box 51, Cabin John MD 20818 USA Editor: John R. Meyer Spring 2006 SEABUS-HYDAER: WING SUSTAINING MEMBERS ASSISTED HYDROFOIL oday there is a general need to transport passengers, cars and cargo Tby sea using methods that are safe, fast and cost-effective. European research is developing new types of ship to fulfill this demand. AEu- ropean project, SEABUS-HYDAER, is developing a completely new concept in marine transport: a hybrid between a plane and a ship. Al- though Seabus never leaves the water, most of its lift power is provided by its wings. This gives it the capacity to travel very fast. Ferries cur- rently in use have top speed of about 40 knots; Seabus beats this with a ______________________________ projected speed of about 120 knots (220 km/h) while using 20% less fuel. 2006 DUES ARE DUE Shown here are several renderings of the HYDAER concept. IHS Membership is still only US$20 per calendar year (US$10 for stu- dents).
