The American AC Class catamaran revealed in Bermuda this week is equipped with a radical new wingdesign that looks just like those you’d see on a plane, and combines the expertise of both sailing and flying to optimize performance.
The ‘flying yacht’ is set to take on competitors at the America’s Cup in June

Airbus and Oracle teamed up in 2014, and more than 30 Airbus engineers have contributed to the yacht’s development.
When the yacht hits high speeds, its foils act like wings, lifting the boat out of the water to eliminate drag.
The 20m tall sail wing, along with the foils, are similar to Airbus’s A320 wing, allowing it to take on high loads, wave impact, and advanced manoeuvres.
It also incorporates a new interface and ‘high level’ control system designed by Airbus to ensure its stability.
With this system, the team aims to achieve flight on the yacht’s foils for 100 percent of the race, in order to stand out from the competition.
The yacht is lighter and stronger than others, the team says, and uses 3D printed parts with the goal to reduce its weight up to 57%.
