What is the difference between a hydrofoil boat and an ordinary speedboat

A hydrofoil boat is a type of boat that uses hydrofoils to lift the hull out of the water. This reduces drag and allows the boat to travel at higher speeds. Ordinary speedboats, on the other hand, do not use hydrofoils and therefore have more drag and cannot travel as fast.

Here is a table that summarizes the key differences between hydrofoil boats and ordinary speedboats:

| Feature | Hydrofoil boat | Ordinary speedboat | |---|---|---| | Hull | Lifted out of the water by hydrofoils | In the water | | Drag | Reduced | Higher | | Speed | Higher | Lower |
