Hydrofoil is a new type of high-speed ship with hydrofoils under it. The earliest hydrofoil design was Kondrambo of Russia. He obtained patents in France 189 1 and the United States 1894. Although the hydrofoil designed and manufactured by him failed to lift the hull out of the water, it achieved high speed.

The actual manufacture of hydrofoils began in the early 20th century. The world's earliest hydrofoil appeared in 1906, and was successfully trial-produced by Italian Fu Larini and Kenoko.
