Optimal for amphibious operations: a high-speed electric boat has been developed

Electrification is proceeding more slowly in the maritime sphere, but there is already a product that can plow the water at high speeds.

CentrostileDesign has developed the Futur-E, a purely electric powered product. The new vessel has the shape of a supercar, duplicating its characteristics - only on the water surface. At the same time, as stated, it is completely noiseless and does not form when waves move.

The four wings included in the design of the boat are extended from the side when a certain speed is reached. Up to this point, they are fully integrated into the body for minimal friction. The pull-out mechanism makes it easy to store the boat or transport it.

Electro-hydraulic drives and gyroscope ensure stable running. Outboard or inboard engines allow a maximum speed of up to 30 knots. Upon reaching 8 knots, the wings will begin to lift the vessel until it begins, so to speak, hovering in the air at 16 knots. The hull is completely made of carbon fiber, which makes the boat lightweight, providing high performance.

Control of the vessel is simplified by the placement of panoramic screens that reflect navigation data and the state of the propulsion system.

At the moment, the new product has not yet been presented "in hardware", but has already been tested on a virtual "stand". The novelty may well be of interest to the military. For example, small dimensions, high speed of movement and quietness of the course are the optimal characteristics when conducting amphibious operations by special forces.

Silent running in water? Nu, nu ... And the statement about the absence of wave formation, which contradicts all the laws of physics, is also surprising.

It is unclear why this boat is better than Soviet seaplane designs. Environmental friendliness or what?
Maybe for civilian purposes this is the very thing, but there are doubts about the interest of the military.

[Real Pilot]

Looks like another water toy for the fun-loving rich ...
Everything is already there: yachts with a destroyer, and submarines for walks, I generally keep quiet about all kinds of seaplanes and boats.

Now the next product has already been "virtually tested". And even, maybe, already really sold, because many recently rich investors love cool boats and beautiful presentations.

And about the absence of waves and complete noiselessness - so the authors are fashionable "visionaries and startups", and not some boring physicists!

So it is written "virtually tested". No noise and waves were noticed during virtual tests.

The advertisers didn’t even hear about the Sormovo Rockets, Meteors, Comets, ...
No sound was heard, no waves were seen.

Nothing contradicts. According to the author, the hull is COMPLETELY made of carbon fiber - therefore, it immediately leaks, the vessel sinks to the bottom, and there are already waves and noise. Only a little bit.

[michael2000]

Whatever you make a boat hull, it will always generate a wave! ALWAYS! If you are not a victim of the USE, then read about body movement in liquid media. And as for the noiselessness, this is generally laughter - "a little bit".

For example, small dimensions, high speed of movement and quietness of the course are the optimal characteristics when conducting amphibious operations by special forces.

Oh, those animation lovers ... I am afraid they will not prepare a wooden landing stage for the landing, and the complete calm, in which the wave will not overwhelm the product, does not always correspond to forecasts.
The idea of ​​electric traction is impressive. For such purposes, the underwater option is more convenient.

[ANB]

... Oh, those animation lovers ... wassat

These are no longer animation lovers.
Either a fake, or an attempt to raise money for a startup and dump it.
A boat shaped like a car flying at a speed of 16 knots. Not even hydrofoil. Doesn't confuse anything from the point of view of physics?

What for? You can't go fishing on a submarine. And this boat will not scare away the fish and will be charged from solar panels during fishing. Gotta take

A short route, back and forth, very quiet and fast.
It is quite justified for itself, especially the mechanism, it couldn't be simpler!

Do not show our oligarchs

Tell these stories to children. Even a feather in the water leaves a trace and disturbance to the surface of the water.

Electro-hydraulic drives and gyroscope ensure stable running.

But these things make the design much more complicated and more expensive, and the maintainability of the case is a separate story altogether.

From the sea, only fishing rods are able to electrify for poaching

the military has doubts.

It’s scary to think that the coastal defense doesn’t even have a large-caliber machine gun, but a conventional machine gun.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

And imagine what will happen to the power plant if a 12,7 mm bullet hits the battery.

[Reserve officer]

I am a little familiar with the problems of charging traction batteries of electric warehouse trucks. This miracle of animation is far from a tank battery, it does not need a replacement, but a charge. In civilian courts, this is quite acceptable, but it is somehow very doubtful to fence charging stations with rolling roller tables and exhaust hydrogen ventilation for combat conditions ...
It looks like a graduation project.

[Tarasios]

"speed up to 30 knots" is just over 50 km / h. And even then, in the "dash". However, in some places the speed is clearly higher on the video, around 80 km / h. Advertising is such an advertisement;) And on a computer you can draw something hosh, incl. and "does not create waves when moving." Nu-nu;) Let's see what will happen in real life.
And yes, I would like to know the power reserve when driving in different modes. Current technology requires very heavy batteries for any meaningful range.
And another moment. The concept is clearly tailored for entertainment and show-offs, such as a pleasure yacht. If this boat is sharpened even a little under the possible requirements of the military, the weight will rise sharply, speed, range, etc. will drop. And it won't be so attractive anymore ...

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Where is the place for a machine gun in a glamorous boat?
The drive for the machine gun will also want to take a bite of electricity.

[Azimuth]

Is the F-1 car very interested in the military? This piece is from this opera.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

The military has adapted buggies in some places, but at least they run on gasoline, although you can quickly fill it up and determine exactly how much of it is in the tank. And here is a glamorous technology in full growth, and why only the boat was not immediately painted pink.

[Nikolay2]

It would be interesting to compare the comments if the developer was the Kalashnikov concern.

[sedoj]

It is highly doubtful that these wings will be able to lift a boat out of the water:

[riwas]

The USA prefers to have stealth boats for MTR, for example, the M80 Stiletto or the middle class (Combatant Craft Medium) CCM Mk1.
