Foil Glide Ratio Calculator

Foil Glide Ratio Calculator MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculate hydrofoil glide efficiency, speed envelopes, and pumping effectiveness.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized aerodynamic modeling for hydrofoil performance. It allows AI agents to determine the fundamental gliding capabilities of a foil setup using calculate_glide_performance. Users can also estimate how effectively they can maintain flight through rhythmic movement with calculate_pumping_efficiency, or define operational speed limits using calculate_speed_envelope. For those deciding between gear, compare_configurations provides a direct comparison of glide and speed characteristics between two different setups.

Calculate the glide performance for a wing with 1200 cm² area, 5.5 aspect ratio, 60 cm fuselage, and a 80 kg rider.

The calculated glide ratio for your setup is 18.5, with a stall speed of 6.2 knots and a maximum glide speed of 14.8 knots.

How efficient will it be to pump with a glide ratio of 15 and a weight of 75 kg?

Your pumping efficiency score is 0.72, with an estimated energy loss of 4.5 units per pump cycle.

What is the speed envelope for a 1500 cm² wing, 4.0 aspect ratio, 80 kg rider, and 300 cm² stabilizer?

The speed envelope includes a minimum flight speed of 5.8 knots, an optimal cruise speed of 12.4 knots, and a maximum drag speed of 19.2 knots.

You can use the `calculate_glide_performance` tool by providing the wing area, aspect ratio, fuselage length, and rider weight.
