Claim 30:
31. A method comprising:
launching an array into a marine environment, the array comprising a cable configured to carry a submerged payload and a foil system coupled to the cable, the foil system including a group of foil sections each defining front and back halves and connected to one another by a group of through-cables extending therethrough;
tensioning a first of one or more through-cables of the group of through-cables to define a first rotational constraint of the front halves relative to the back halves, thereby inducing a first angle of attack; and
tensioning a second of the one or more through-cables of the group of through-cables to define a second rotational constraint of the front halves relative to the back halves, thereby inducing a second angle of attack, wherein the first and second through-cables are disposed in the front halves of the group of foil sections,
wherein a tensioned one of the group of through-cables during either of the tensioning operations is offset from a chord defined between a leading and a trailing edge of at least one of the foil sections.
