We have a track record of building and testing real, working vessels
Introducing the world's fastest electric hydrofoil.
Named Pamplemousse, it’s a 100% electric, high speed hydrofoil craft that demonstrates the key technologies that are required for ARGO and ELECTRA.
Pamplemousse technology overview
Battery-electric propulsion system
We developed a custom electric drivetrain that is capable of producing the high power output required for take off as well as being near silent during cruise.
High efficiency hydrofoil wings
Designed using over 300,000 core hours of CFD, our wings create less than half the drag of previous commercial hydrofoils.
Computerised flight control and stability system
The flight control system utilizes multiple inertial and dynamic sensors in order to achieve steady level flight of a inherently non-stable vehicle.

We built the worlds first flying container ship
Built in just 10 weeks, it demonstrated that hydrofoils can absolutely be used to transport shipping containers.
Proof that containers can hydrofoil
Featuring twin surface piercing carbon composite hydrofoil, ‘P3’ is capable of hauling a single 20 foot shipping container at a cruise speed of 18 knots.
Testing in the San Francisco Bay, California
