Prediction of the longitudinal stability and motions of a hydrofoil ship with a suspension system between the wings and the hull using a state-space model

Hydrofoil ships with fully submerged wings offer great speed at a relatively low fuel cost. They are also unstable, which is why they require an active control system. Current hydrofoil ships are more limited in their operation by waves. A passive suspension system could reduce the motions of a hydrofoil ship in waves but it must remain...
