Flying Fish

At Flying Fish we boost maritime innovationsOur mission is to make impact on the world by developing sustainable solutions of high technical quality. We work as an engineering company for and with other companies. Flying Fish was founded in 2018 by alumni from the TU Delft Solar Boat team. We are now 14 young, ambitious and talented engineering professionals with strong ideals for a more sustainable world. These are our fields of expertise:Electric drivetrainsElectrical drivetrains are essential for the energy transition in the naval sector. The drivetrain that we developed operates at an efficient DC voltage range of +/- 700V and power up to 500kW. Our system can be used in a hydrogen and battery electric system. We provide custom solutions for all ships in a power range between 20 and 500kW, new and in retro-fit.We designed the full electrical drivetrain of the first hydrogen fuelled Watertaxi for Rotterdam, to be deployed early in 2022.Hydrofoil solutionsHydrofoil boats have as main advantages reduced energy consumption at higher speeds, more comfort, less noise, less wave production and spectacular sailing. We developed multiple hydrofoils in the past. One of which is HEARP; a remote control hydrofoil boat (+/- 1.2 meter) for TU Delft, designed to test various control algorithms and hydrofoil configurations. Our own-built HOST (Hydrofoil Optimization and Simulation Tool) facilitates development of hydrofoil systems based on strong theoretical understanding and real-time s
