This historic film (with foreign language soundtrack -- Swedish?) shows the Boeing 929 Jetfoil, aa passenger-carrying waterjet-propelled hydrofoil design by Boeing.
Boeing began adapting many systems used in jet airplanes for hydrofoils. Robert Bateman led development. Boeing launched its first passenger-carrying waterjet-propelled hydrofoil in April 1974. It could carry from 167 to 400 passengers. It was based on the same technology pioneered by the patrol hydrofoil Tucumcari, and used some of the same technology used in the Pegasus class military patrol hydrofoils. The product line was licensed to the Japanese company Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
Boeing launched three Jetfoil 929-100 hydrofoils that were acquired in 1975 for service in the Hawaiian Islands, which was operated by a Honolulu-based operator Seaflite Inc. Seaflight operated 3 Boeing Jetfoils between 1975 and the company's demise in 1979. When the service ended the three hydrofoils were acquired by Far East Hydrofoil (now TurboJET) for service between Hong Kong and Macau. About two dozen Boeing Jetfoils saw service in Hong Kong-Macau, Japan, South Korea, the English Channel, the Canary Islands, the Korea Strait, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia.
In 1979, the Royal Navy purchased a Boeing Jetfoil, HMS Speedy, to provide the Royal Navy with an opportunity to gain practical experience in the operation and support of a modern hydrofoil, to establish technical and performance characteristics, and to assess the capability of a hydrofoil in the Fishery Protection Squadron.
In 1980 B&I shipping lines opened a Jetfoil service from Dublin to Liverpool with the jetfoil Cú Na Mara (Hound of the Sea). The service was not a success and was discontinued at the end of the 1981 season.
The Belgian Regie voor Maritiem Transport (RMT) operated the jetfoils Princesse Clementine and Prinses Stephanie on the Ostend-Dover route from 1981 until 1997.
In North America, the Boeing Jetfoil saw regularly scheduled service between Seattle, Washington, and Victoria, British Columbia, during the summer tourist season of 1980. Leased from Boeing, a single Jetfoil, the Flying Princess, was operated by the non-profit Flying Princess Transportation Corp., with the close co-operation and assistance of the B.C. Steamship Company.Regularly scheduled service ran from Seattle to Victoria to Vancouver from April to September, 1985, by Island Jetfoil. Boeing reclaimed the Island Jetfoil boat and sold it for service in Japan

Da daa da daaa
Do do doo dooo
I think some variation of the soundtrack was used in every airline commercial during the 60's and 70's.
The language of that movie isn't Schwedish this is Danish.
Definitely Danish. But I'll go out on a limb and say that the speaker sounds a bit non-native, which makes me wonder if this was done by someone in Seattle who spoke Danish.
Erik Griswold isn’t that the shift that’s been taking place in danish over the last 50 years?
Oh i thought we were going to see the swedish chef. lol
I remeber those boats they Sailed between Malmoe city to Copenhagen City. If i remeber correct.
Thanks for posting this film on youtub.
👍👍🙂🙂🙂🙂
This isnt swedish its danish. Good video
Denmark and Sweden best countries on Earth...
Shalom
Fuel consumption may have halted these awesome ships.
Many powered by Gas turbines.
Grumman had one on Long island NY in 60s.
Modern materials like carbon fiber and more efficient engines may make these viable today.
@@MitzvosGolem1 They are still viable today without overly expensive carbon and more efficient engines. At least, the Japanese think they are...
This video should be dubbed by the Swedish Chef! It would be way better to listen to. LOL!
At one time the US navy was very interested in this from Boeing. Had a couple of ships commissioned as test platforms. Did a lot of testing in and around the Puget Sound area near the shipyard. In the end nothing came of it tho.
Unfortunately those foils make two great shoot me here targets. Though, if the technology had been developed earlier, they would have been great for coastal anti submarine warfare during, or soon after WWII. They'd skim right over any torpedo.
Nobody :
Boeing after being so bored of planes :
We Hong Kong have this Jetfoil Services between Hong Kong to Macao
прекрасное видео! хоть и на шведском, в общих чертах все понятно
I didn't even know anything like this existed.
You can visit Hong Kong or Japan (Tokyo, Kagoshima) to try riding on them. Still exists
I bet they thought back in the 1970's by 2020 every boat would be a jet foil boat. HA!!! Instead we got the internet and the wooflu!
1:03 Awesome.
ja det er det
A 480/24 resolution video posted in 2020? And yes, it's definitely Danish and not Swedish.
Funny, I thought sure that full-color film was widely available in 1970....
It was. This print is faded due to age and probably poor storage conditions.
4:55 Seattle. One of the coolest boats ever made. Don't they still use these as ferries somewhere?
Japan is full of them
These vessels are in service in Japan, they are very common there.
About 6-7 of them still operates between Hong Kong and Macau
WHy aren't these used now?
да.. спк должны быть именно такими
This is better in the original klingon.
Qapla'
ㄹㅇㅋㅋ
That's Danish, not Swedish.
Today Jetfoil One almost send to scrap in Hong Kong
Buka vidio semua
I'd say it is Dutch, not Danish
No, it's Danish.
If it was Dutch, I wouldn't understand it
