A proposed larger vessel architecture uses wing propulsion and underwater turbines to power onboard computing. The white paper models a 70m, 3MWe-class catamaran and separates the conceptual scale-up from the smaller initial nodes.
Technical detail
Core features
White paper reports approximately 88–89% capacity factors in 2022–2025 Pacific weather-routing simulations.
The model assumes active-suction wing lift coefficient about 7, versus the paper’s stated current passive-wing value of 2.6.
Roadmap targets 0.25MWe in Q2 2027, a 3MWe prototype in Q2 2028 and production after validation from Q4 2029.
Homepage estimates $28–35/MWh LCOE and 1.05 PUE, with LNG backup and satellite communications dependencies.
