This craft is equpiped with a 20 kWh battery pack that powers two 10 kW motors. The intended applications for this type of passenger craft would be for cities surrounding lakes and rivers. They are currently facing issues with the allowed speeds the craft is allowed to operate, as the hydrofoil technology generally requires a higher speed in order to maintain its elevated position above the water.
The Fly By Wire system is a collection of sensors which detect the height of the water and allows them to stabilize the craft from the constantly varying surface of the water, using the three flaps connected to electric motors.
This technology is particularly intriguing for people who normally would feel sea sick as the rocking motions are reduced, and a hydrofoil tends to generate less wake which is always a good thing, unless you are a wake boarder of course.
