Abstract: A hydrofoil watercraft system comprising: a flotation device; a downward mast extending from a bottom surface of the flotation device; a fuselage, a foil wing extending from one first end of the fuselage; and a plurality of fins independently movable independent of one another, wherein at least two of the movable fins extend in opposite directions from one second end of the fuselage, where the movable fins are used for steering the watercraft. The system further includes a controller for receiving user input, wherein the controller drives the movable fins respectively based on the user input. One of the movable fins is driven by the controller to rotate along a first axis while another of the movable fins is driven by the controller to rotate along a second axis, wherein the first axis and the second axis are substantially symmetrical with respect to the fuselage.

Abstract: A steering system for a hydrofoil watercraft, wherein a user may ride in a seated, prone, kneeling, or standing position while steering the watercraft without the use of his or her bodyweight. Vertical elevation, left and right roll, and longitudinal direction control of the watercraft is accomplished via steering, resulting in movement of the control surfaces (fins) on the hydrofoil, thus eliminating the need for weight shifting on the flotation device. An electronic remote and/or mounted joystick steering system can be operated either electronically or through direct mechanical linkage to control the direction of the watercraft. The steering system can include an unmanned remote controlled drone hydrofoil watercraft that can be operated remotely.
