Master Physics, Composite Scantlings, Fly-by-Wire & IMO/DNV Compliance Workbench
Pre-build engineering architecture and statutory rule-mapping repository: covering air-water interface CFD sweeps, composite hull slamming FEA scantlings, high-C-rate megawatt battery thermal containment, fail-operational 2oo3 fly-by-wire logic, and clause-by-clause IMO HSC / DNV / ABS / HKMD compliance.
0 → 38 Knots Foil-Borne Transition & 80% Drag Decoupling Curve
Sweep vessel speed from 0 to 38 knots (Fn = 0 to 1.17) to inspect hull-borne displacement (0–11 KT), wave-drag hump transition (12–16 KT), and full foil-borne drag decoupling above 18 knots.
Free-Surface Proximity (h/c), Strut Ventilation & Foil Section Parameter Sweep
When a submerged hydrofoil operates near the air-water interface (submergence depth-to-chord ratio $h/c < 1.0$), free-surface wave-making reduces lift slope ($C_{L\alpha}$) and risks drawing atmospheric air down the vertical strut ("ventilation stall"). Sweep $h/c$ and foil section geometry below to inspect our anti-ventilation fence placement and cavitation bucket.

Composite Hull Bottom Slamming Pressure (P_slam) & Sandwich Core Shear Verifier
Calculates statutory bottom slamming design pressure ($P_{\text{slam}}$ in $\text{kPa}$) during emergency hull-borne wave impact at 38 knots and verifies that our Carbon-Epoxy / Gurit Corecell™ M130 structural sandwich panels pass DNV outer-skin tensile and core shear criteria on the first build.

Triple-Modular Redundant (2oo3) Edge Compute & Actuator Voting Truth Table
Unlike consumer drones that fail-passive, passenger-carrying hydrofoils at 38 knots require Fail-Operational architecture: if one flight computer, IMU, or CAN-FD bus fails mid-flight, the vessel must continue flying on foils without a single bump while alerting the helm.

4-Layer Marine LFP Battery Room Fire Suppression, Gas Exhaust & Thermal Isolation
Designed to pass DNV "Battery(Power, Safety)" notation and HK Marine Department Passenger HSC inspections without costly post-build retrofits.
LiFePO₄ cathode chemistry (thermal runaway onset >270°C vs 150°C for NMC) with 3.0mm Aspen Pyrogel® XT-E silica aerogel thermal barriers between every prismatic cell—preventing cell-to-cell propagation.
Dual-redundant electrolyte vapor (VOC), hydrogen (H₂), and carbon monoxide (CO) sensors detect cell venting 4–8 minutes before any thermal spike, triggering an automotive-grade 1,200V Pyro-Fuse in <2.0 ms.
Battery compartments are lined with lightweight A-60 structural fire insulation and ATEX explosion-proof extraction fans (30 air changes/hour) venting directly overboard above the main deck—zero gas path to passenger cabin.
Primary electrical fire suppression via non-conductive FK-5-1-12 clean agent gas, backed by a dry-pipe pack-internal seawater mist/deluge manifold for deep cell cooling.
