The future of maritime mobility is taking flight—literally!
The maritime industry is entering an exciting new chapter, where vessels no longer just ride the waves—they soar above them. Hydrofoil vessels, known for their sleek, futuristic design and extraordinary efficiency, are capturing global attention. But behind their graceful glide lies a complex engineering puzzle.
The Challenge of Hydrofoil Propulsion
Hydrofoil vessels are powered by electric propulsion systems, which amplify certain design challenges:
- Range – Electric propulsion demands the highest levels of efficiency to maximize travel distance.
- Power density – Compact systems must deliver robust performance to meet operational demands.
- Propeller diameter constraints – These vessels operate close to the surface, limiting propeller size while requiring lift in fly mode.
Meeting these challenges requires a propulsion solution that is both efficient and tailored to the unique dynamics of hydrofoil vessels.
Hydroglyder: A Showcase of Innovation
The Hydroglyder, developed by Yinson GreenTech, is a revolutionary step forward in sustainable maritime transportation. Designed as a high-speed, electric hydrofoil vessel, it exemplifies the blend of cutting-edge engineering and environmental responsibility. Its mission: to deliver efficient and eco-friendly transportation, while pushing the boundaries of what hydrofoil technology can achieve.
Counter Rotating Propellers: A Tailored Solution for Hydroglyder
To address these needs, VICUSdt developed an advanced Counter Rotating Propeller (CRP) system. CRP technology offers significantly higher efficiency compared to conventional propellers, making it the ideal choice for “flying boats” like the Hydroglyder. By designing a bespoke CRP solution, we ensured that the Hydroglyder achieves optimal performance, combining range, power density, and hydrodynamic precision.
