An Israeli startup develops an innovative hydrofoil

A hydrofoil is an underwater fin with a flat or curved wing-like surface that is designed to lift any craft.

In the early 1960s, Walter Woodward, an aeronautical engineer, developed the first hydrofoil for use as a water ski. 

Founded in 2017, the Israeli startup Level Hydrofoils is transforming the world aquatic transport with a new version of the hydrofoil.

Thanks to its innovative stabilization technology, the company promises an easy-to-use, energy-efficient and potentially mass-use experience.

The startup’s big innovation is the incorporation of a gyroscope stabilization system that eliminates the difficulty of balancing. This system adjusts the balance of the device 100 times per second, almost as if any user had the responsiveness of a trained athlete.

The device also includes an app that allows users to adjust the speed and customize their experience, but the goal is for it to be used for sightseeing trips to lakes and islands.
