Hydrofoils Incorporated, based in Palm Beach, Florida, originated in Rumson, New Jersey in 1972 when Ken Cook established it as a research and development entity focused on high-speed marine vehicles with built-in self-stabilizing sea-keeping. The firm has a history in hydrofoil technology, including developing and demonstrating the first hydrofoil to exceed 100 mph for the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, a design that later surpassed 130 mph. Its current work centers on high-speed, supercavitating hydrofoils and open-water testing of unmanned, remotely piloted hydrofoils with controllable speeds, including tests well over Mach 1. The company targets research, development, and testing organizations seeking advanced high-speed marine-vehicle design and testing solutions, and its work has earned recognition in industry journals as well as by Ken Cook, described as a leading authority on supercavitating hydrofoil design. The organization emphasizes safety, control, and reliability to provide a stable platform for extreme-speed marine operation, addressing deficiencies observed in other high-speed watercraft.
