Designed and engineered by Walt Schulz at Shannon the patented Amphfoil is the first and only hybrid propulsion water vessel that is able take advantage of "energy free lift" created by surface effect and overcome conventional hydrofoil limitations.
The Amphfoil is engineered for versatility in both utilization and construction methodology: one platform, unlimited models, unlimited sizes, unlimited applications. But most importantly, Amphfoils were engineered to capitalize on the latest advances in low emissions propulsion using readily available technology and parts. Amphfoils can easily adapt to the rapidly changing electric, hydrogen cell and hybrid propulsion advances without expensive tooling modifications.
From bow to stern, Amphfoil SEV's proprietary features create a better boat while delivering low carbon emissions, comfort, speed, efficiency, long distance range, and overall ease of operation.
AMPHFOIL 10m CTV WIND FARM SUPPORT CREW TRANSFER VESSEL utilizes proprietary hydrofoils and surface effect technology to achieve speed, stability and crew comfort in offshore wind farms
“ To create a craft of unparalleled performance that is a 21st century clean energy solution to boating and water transport that combines my passion for hydrodynamic and aeronautical engineering, reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fossil-fueled marine engines, and maximizing opportunities offered by electrical generation and use has been a dream of mine for almost a decade. The Amphfoil is truly the apogee of my 40+ career in boat design and building.
The real excitement for me is that the Amphfoil has unlimited possibilities. I envision the international coast guard using if for fast search and rescue missions or patrolling the difficult-to-protect coastal waters. I envision the Amphfoil transporting crew safely and quickly to offshore work sites without contributing to air and water pollution from large, slow engines. I envision Amphfoil commercial passenger and limousine service between New York and Boston, Nice and Genoa…both notorious automobile-congested corridors whose burden is not eased with planes and trains. I envision boaters using it for personal transport to get to places like Nantucket and remote islands faster, speeding out to distant fishing grounds, or simply using it to just have fun.” _Walt Schulz
