Progress on Partial Foiling Technology

Progress on the “Partial Foiling” solution has now reached the conclusion of the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) phase, resulting in the development of the most effective theoretical shape and geometry for the foils.

Work is now underway on the attachment solution, which will define how the system integrates with the hull. This will be followed by the detailed structural design of the foils themselves.

If all progresses as expected, we aim to build a full-scale prototype later this year and begin testing the concept in open water.
