Imagine a boat that doesn't just sail—it actually flies above the water! 🚤⚡ In this video, you'll discover the world's first 100% electric hydrofoil pilot boat, a revolutionary innovation that is changing the future of marine transportation. Instead of pushing through the water like traditional boats, this incredible vessel lifts itself above the surface using advanced hydrofoil technology. The result is a smoother ride, significantly lower energy consumption, reduced drag, and zero direct...

This video has already been published for the first time in 2020. Please also note the second, more recent video in the appendix. This physical ladder simulator was designed for crew training in the ladder arrangement and for all the users especially for pilots.
