This paper outlines the historical evolution, theoretical background, and engineering applications of hydrofoil technology in the maritime domain. Emphasizing hydrodynamic lift and drag reduction, it examines how various hydrofoil configurations influence vessel performance, including speed, stability, and fuel efficiency. Key design considerations—such as structural integrity, environmental adaptability, and manufacturing feasibility—are discussed in light of current literature. The findings underscore the potential of hydrofoils to enhance maritime transportation through improved efficiency and operational safety.
