Airhull lets electric boats glide on a layer of air
Airhull technology is intended to make electric boats more energy-efficient. Pascal Technologies wants to equip two boats with this technology.
At the stern, there is a controllable flap that gradually closes the cavity at the rear end as required. The pump and the rear flap are controlled automatically depending on the situation to achieve the best performance, promises Pascal Technologies in an explanation of the system. The boat is expected to reach speeds of between 20 and 25 knots (around 37 to 46 km/h) and achieve a range of 40 nautical miles (around 74 km).
