Flying boats rewrite the rules of fast craft design

As pressure mounts to decarbonise high-speed maritime transport, hydrofoiling technology is emerging as a disruptive force in vessel design.

Stockholm-based Candela Technology is at the forefront of this shift, leveraging electric propulsion and advanced hydrofoil systems to dramatically cut energy consumption, extend range and redefine performance benchmarks.

This all challenges long-held assumptions about the efficiency, economics and operational limits of fast ferries.
