Sailboats for professional races and a growing number of water-sports devices are using hydrodynamically active surfaces (Hydrofoils) to create lift and reduce drag. Seaplanes and amphibious aircrafts can use a system of Hydrofoils, functioning as hydrodynamic landing gear, to remove the need for additional floating devices or a boat shaped fuselage of the aircraft. This leads to new design and configuration options for seaplanes and amphibious aircrafts - something which has not really changed since the beginning of flying. In the following, the preliminary design process of using hydrofoils as landing-gear on aircraft is specified, focusing on forces and momentum during take-off.
