SAFE (Submerged-object Adaptive Foil Elevation)
The SAFE hydrofoil retraction system is a unique, patent pending technology developed to significantly improve the safety and efficiency of operation of hydrofoil boats, watercraft and vessels across a wide range of recreational, commercial, government and defence applications.
It solves the problem off 'what happens when you hit something?'
AVARI-X Flight Control System
The AVARI-X flight control system has been developed specifically to operate the SAFE foiling system. In addition to controlling foiling height, directional control, Flight Control Level (FCL) and other flight control features, AVARI-X combines sensor feedback with sensor fusion, to assess the risk of potential collisions with submerged objects, or grounding events. If an imminent event is sensed, the SAFE system releases the hydrofoil support struts, which dynamically drive themselves into a retracted position to avoid the potential collision.
