Racing yachts are a real hotbead of innovation for researchers, engineers and architects. As part of a partnership with Centrale Nantes, ENSTA Bretagne, the École Navale, Ifremer and the Carnot Institute, Jules Richeux, a naval engineering student, has been working on the automatic simulation of hydrofoil boats.

What exactly does this involve? And why is it important today? Watch the video to find out:

 

 

Jules did his internship in the METHRIC research group under the supervision of Jeroen Wackers.
