Summer Fun Thanks to Engineering!

Check out this fun YouTube video of one of our Civil Engineering instructors, Daniel Findley, and his son on what is called the Aquaskipper. It is fascinating to watch, since it is not entirely obvious how the two of them stay up.  The rear main hydrofoil appears to be supporting their weight like a wing of an airplane, and the front hydrofoil is acting like a canard (like on the Concord supersonic jet) to keep the nose up.  Clearly a must have for summer fun on the water!
