Abstract
A marine propulsion system for a hydrofoil marine vessel includes at least one marine propulsion device, a foil structure configured to raise at least a portion of a hull of the hydrofoil marine vessel system above a waterline when the hydrofoil marine vessel is operating in a foiling mode; and a propulsion controller operably coupled to the at least one marine propulsion device and the foil structure. The propulsion controller is configured to detect a loss of lift event in the foil structure during operation of the hydrofoil marine vessel in the foiling mode. Responsive to detection of the loss of lift event, the propulsion controller is configured to control the at least one marine propulsion device to increase a thrust provided by the at least one marine propulsion device.
