The W-Foil
Our unique proprietary W-Foil arrangement is a key technology feature that separates us from the competition. The anhedral shaped hydrofoil is naturally unstable and requires fly-by-wire control to achieve stable flight. The significant benefit of this is the resulting unusually high manoeuvrability. Like a modern day fighter jet that cannot be manually flown, the W-Foil hydrofoil arrangement provides worlds best agility in handling. This increased handling is the direct result of significantly higher roll control torque than craft without the W-Foil. When mixed with our state of the art flight control system the result is stable, confident, smooth flight when desired, but with the option for user selectable flight control levels that include highly aggressive coordinated turning and agility.
The result is a highly manoeuvrable flying boat like no other.
W-Foil Performance Benefits:
• Higher foiling height
– Operation in larger waves
• More dynamic manoeuvring
– Increased agility, excitement and fun
• Tighter turns
- Improved collision avoidance
• Operation in higher cross-winds
• Tolerance to guests moving whilst underway
• Tolerance to payload imbalances

Class Leading Maneuverability
Maneuverability at the dock and while flying is critical for ease of use and performance, our dual motor layout ensures maximal control in any situation and enhanced performance and safety while flying above the waves.
WaveDrive
Our patented WaveDrive uses what we call the W-Foil.
This innovation gives use over twice the maneuverability
than any other foiling system. Both above the wave and on the
water.
Giving us the maneuverability of a fighter jet
and the stability of a drone.
Retractable Foils
The WaveDrive system is designed to be fully retracted at the touch of a button.
This allows WaveDrive craft to be driven on and off a trailer like a traditional vessel.
WaveDrive craft can easily be beached and stored on racks like traditional vessels.
With foils retracted WaveDrive craft can operate and explore shallower waters than traditional craft.
Retractable Foils
The WaveDrive system is designed to be fully retracted allowing for ease of trailering, operation in shallow waters and beach ability. This also allows for the WaveDrive to do everything a traditional boat can do and more.
Geofencing
Using GPS and our flight control system WaveDrive allows any boat to control where users are allowed and presents collisions with known above and underwater hazards. Enhancing safety in shallow areas and ensures occupants stay safe.
Always connected
Software is a key component to the WaveDrive and allows for remote updates, real-time craft monitoring and ensures that as we add new features you are up-to date.
Futureproof Design
We understand that reliability, serviceability are key benefits to owning and operating a vessel. So we have designed the WaveDrive system to be as modular, serviceable and upgradable as possible.

Flight Control's
Our Flight control Unit (FCU), is the brains behind the performance, safety and reliability that the WaveDrive system is capable of.

The robust triple redundant sensor suite ensures the vessel is always kept in a reliable safe state, this unit is what takes the inputs from the driver and using our Fly-By-Wire system outputs a smooth, agile and thrilling ride.
WaveFlyer features advanced fly-by-wire technology, similar to top-tier aircraft, ensuring precise control with minimal effort. The WaveDrive system, with its sophisticated algorithms and sensors, enhances safety and adaptability across various conditions. Users enjoy a simplified experience, focusing solely on their journey and destination, making navigation straightforward, safe and enjoyable.
Battery Agnostic
As Battery Technology Improve's the WaveDrive will be able to go further, charge faster and reduce in cost.
Learn More
With the projections in battery cost, energy density and chemistry changes we have designed our drive systems and batteries to be modular. So as to be futureproof for when new technologies become available, ensuring the WaveDrive system today will continually improve.
Rapid Recharge
Thanks to our Rapid Recharging system we are able to recharge our vessels in under 1 hour using no moving parts. Meaning for every hour of operation you only have to charge for 15 minutes or less.
Learn More
Our ability to rapid charge in under 1 hour is thanks to our passive cooling system. Using the water the boat is floating on, the WaveDrive cools itself by transferring heat to the water, ensuring a robust and low maintenance cooling design that doesn't rely on complex cooling pumps and system components.
