Discrete keel steps and a V-shaped bow help contain the air cushion, improving stability while reducing drag and air leakage.
Segmented bow, keel, and stern steps curb air cushion leakage while improving directional stability and lowering turning resistance.
Motion sensors, inertial platforms, and feedback control keep shipboard pouring, molding, and additive manufacturing stable at sea.
A clamped transom plate and actuator plate mount water engagement devices without hull penetrations, while shims adapt to varying transom angles.
A modular chassis uses left and right linkages plus resilient supports to manage hull motion and simplify vessel assembly.
A watercraft control system adjusts speed and course to exit vertical movement resonance ranges.
A floating production unit hull design incorporates a central moonpool to suspend and protect risers against external forces.
