INTERCEPTOR DESIGN AND CONTROL FOR THE HIGH SPEED CRAFT 19
First trim tabs (for high speed craft trim adjusting purposes) were invented in 1961-1962
(Publication dates). These inventions are as seen in Figure 3.5 Adjustable planing-floats for power

boats [10] and
Figure 3.6 Trim attachment for power boats [9]. Later on, due to the high drag forces and bulkiness
of traditional trim tabs, interceptor trim tabs were invented as seen in Figure 3.7 Arrangement for
dynamic control of running trim and list of a boat [11].
