The hull design of Aquila power catamarans is naturally more fuel-efficient and stable than comparable mono-hulls of similar size. This allows Aquila owners and their guests to enjoy a more comfortable ride and use less horsepower across the entire range of desired speeds. Recently, by adding fixed foils between the Aquila 36’s twin hulls, Aquila has achieved even greater fuel economy, improved ride performance, enhanced handling characteristics and boosted the models top end.
Aquila approached the marine architectural firm Morrelli & Melvin who have demonstrated a fantastic track record of designing creative, sound, safe, energy-efficient, fun and fast multihulls. This includes the NACRA 17 which has been designated to be the next Olympic multihull. Pete Melvin and Gino Morrelli applied their significant experience to develop Aquila’s fixed foils system. The system provides up to 30% savings on fuel consumption at a fixed speed. The Aquila foil system is passive and does not require any specific knowledge or training for any operator to handle. Best of all, the savings on fuel alone can cover the purchase cost of the foil system within a few months of operation. In addition, because the boat rides higher out of the water, the foils also improve the overall comfort and experience for those onboard. The Aquila fixed foil system can be retrofitted on existing Aquila 36 models so current owners can improve the performance and operating comfort of their already fuel efficient and comfortable catamarans.

Next up, foils for the 44' ? A slotted foil similar to a Fowler flap on an aircraft would be interesting for the lower speed/higher weight. Maybe a slated flap for shooting out the transition on and off the foil would work. Awesome gains, well done everyone!

With great interest I got acquainted with your creations (hydrofoils on a catamaran), as well as with comments to them. Iteres is not idle because I am dealing with a similar topic .... Several years ago I built and tested a working model of a catamaran with hydrofoils. But the task was set so that the wings could be serviced and, if necessary, dismantled (raised) in any conditions ... Including self-loading on the catamaran trailer ... Why do people forget that the propellers of motors are also garbage collectors? Although during operation in my case, this did not happen. (the problem is far-fetched). As a result of tests and operation of the model, the following results were revealed ... With 10 liters with a motor, and a total mass of 500 kg, the speed is about 28 km. h., weighing 700 kg - 10 hp. 22 km / h True, the contours and installation sites of the wings are not the same as yours, and it is planned to use and sails ... Based on the results of the experience, I am building a larger catamaran ... I will follow your progress ... Regards .... (subscription)

Does the foil create more drag at slow speeds? It seems to hang down below the hulls, I like to beach my cat onto the shore, the foil can get caught on rocks, etc.

@markrutlidge5427
@markrutlidge5427 2 года назад
a company was making cats like this in South Africa 40 years ago, it was in the 20/30 ft range . mainly for sport fishing . the only problem was that these tipe of boats had to be ramp/ harbour launched, whereas the vast majority of launches are beach launches due to the lack of harbours and suitable river mouths, thus they were not that popular . pitty as they were by all standards a good design.

hello your video has inspired me to utilize this technology for my trimaran electric motor sailer project what I envision augmenting the centerboard with a foil make it adjustable for depth so in shallow waters keep it up but when in big waves set the foil lower to help keep the bow up so the bow doesn't just plow into the waves if you like my idea I'm interested in sponsorship and that you could use to promote your product
@EdwardTilley
@EdwardTilley 2 года назад
Have you strapped one of these onto a sailing catamaran - perhaps in place of (sacrificial) full-time keels? If yes, does this foil add a daggarboard-like tracking assist. I should think yes.

@michaelplunkett8059

No need for height movement complexity as big foil is already higher in water than propellers/rudders. Rear foils are between 2 hulls and higher than same.

Yes I get a queasy feeling listening to these car salesman types. Looking at the massive wake produced by this klutz of a vessel, efficiency is obviously not one of it's strong points.. An obviously misapplied old technology to wow ignorant techyuppies.
@Wingnut353
@Wingnut353 2 года назад
@@vanekert Appearances can be deceiving... without the foil it can do 38knots at WOT which is respectable for any cruiser. With the foil it does 38knots at cruise... 44mph at WOT.... basically best in class. You can look at cruisers for a long time and not see anything near that. 1-1.2Mpg is also pretty normal for boats of this size. You say that the wake is rediculous on this boat... well yeah when most other cruisers this size are built to go only half the speed.... and many only go around 7-10knots.

@Wingnut353
@Wingnut353 2 года назад
Sounds like fairly costly, since he mentioned it was roughly in line or a bit less than adding more power to the boat so in the tens of thousands range.... granted that makes sense if the performance improvement is 30% or so and if used enough it would end up paying for itself in fuel savings... and when being sold on a new boat of this class a small premium. I imagine once the patents expire we may see some home built versions on hand built craft... after all aviation and boating enthusiasts have been building fairly complex foils for many decades. And the patents can serve to drive innovation...
