Challenging Team New Zealand Section | EP03 | Designing and America's Cup Boat

Описание: Can we beat the speed of the Champions? In this third episode, we are moving from analysis to action. We dive into the trade-offs between structural stiffness and hydrodynamic efficiency, and then—for the first time—we let the Optimizer loose to see if we can find a profile that outperforms the defenders.

🔍 WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE:

The Flap Concept: Breaking down the ETNZ flap felxible concept.

Design Constraints: A look at the "hidden" factors, structural requirements that dictate why a foil looks the way it does.

Man vs. Machine: We use the TakeOff Technologies Optimizer to challenge the ETNZ section. We set the goals, and the AI finds the "sweet spot."

The Comparison: Side-by-side performance data. Can we actually find more speed than the Team NZ section?

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

💻 TOOLS & SOFTWARE:

We are using TakeOff Technologies for the foil optimization and CFD simulations shown in this video. 👉 https://app.takeoff-technologies.com

💬 JOIN THE DESIGN PROCESS

We want to hear from the engineers and sailors in the comments:

Did the Optimizer's "ideal" shape surprise you compared to the real ETNZ foil?

If you had to change one constraint (thickness, lift, or cavitation speed), which would it be?

You have the tools in your hands—go to the app and see if you can beat the champions!
