Hi Raii -new foiler cat w/electronic foil control

This cat is being developed using 100% electronic altitude control with fully submerged foils. Video is in German but still worth seeing even if you don't speak the language.

The presenter was articulate but just don't understand that "Süddeutch" the other ones spoke...Some roughness in the foils here and there, but as I understood th main purpose with this is to test electronics etc. Interesting..
