    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Petter Elnerud; Elias Esseen; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This report covers a function analysis and concept design of a hydrofoil electric search and rescue vessel. It was done in conjunction with the SSRS, Swedish Sea Rescue Society (Sjöräddningssällskapet), as a master thesis at the Royal Institute of Technology. READ MORE

  3. 2. CFD Optimization of Hydrofoiling Concept for A New Era of Sea Transports

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Anlun Li; [2022]
    Keywords : Optimization; Hydrofoil; FoilCart; Transportation; CFD; Optimering; Hydrofoil; FoilCart; Transport; CFD;

    Abstract : The aim of this master thesis is to develop and optimize the main wing of a T-shaped hydrofoil for a small passenger vessel called FoilCart. The project is in collaboration with KTH Maritime Robotic Lab. The existing prototype of the hydrofoil is built by a company called ZPARQ\cite{Zparq}, but the efficiency of the main wing is not optimized. READ MORE

  4. 3. Extended Kalman Filter as Observer for a Hydrofoiling Watercraft : Modelling of a new hydrofoiling concept, based on the Spherical Inverted Pendulum Model

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Abstract : Hydrofoiling in general has the potential to revolutionize watercraft in the future since it allows smoother and faster transport on water with less energy consumption than traditional planning hulls. Even if the concept of hydrofoiling has been around since the last century, development in control theory and material science together with increased computing power has led to a growing interest for the technology.

    Abstract : Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) are vehicles of various levels of autonomy which can be made for a large variety of purposes, for instance ferriage and surveying. USV shave technically been around for about 80 years, however, it is only within fairly recent years developments in miniaturization of components and computers have allowed for the construction of USVs of a small size.

  6. 5. Conceptual Design Study of a Foil-Trailer to AUV 62-AT

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Jacob Zeidler; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Swedish Navy has been using the AUV62-AT for submarine hunting training successfully for a while and it has been found that the biggest drawback is the transport which is very resource draining. The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration was given the task to solve this and a hydrofoiling-trailer was seen as a potential solution. READ MORE
