Aerodynamic lift forces on multihulled marine vehicles
The paper won the Calder Prize of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects 2011 (best paper by a member under the age of 30 on the subject of small or high-speed craft). The research led to Renaissance Design UK Ltd developing the AAMV (Aerodynamically Alleviated Marine Vehicle) concept to a higher TRL. An AAMV is a vehicle that can bridge the gap between marine and air transportation in terms of speed and payload. As a direct consequence Renaissance Design have funded a follow-on project (£115k) into the preliminary design of an AAMV configuration.
