Abstract: It is shown that surface of a liquid consisting of several interpenetrating superfluids moving with different velocities becomes unstable at some threshold. We demonstrate that the criterion for the onset of the instability changes in the presence of disspative interaction between the surface and the environment. Possible physical applications of the surface instability are discussed.
