In total 10 Hydraulic-Cylinders will provide all the needed forces for helming the V_REX.

Ailerons, Angle of Attack for the Hydro-Foils, V-Angle-Adjustment, .... which are activated through out a joystick. This will give the V_REX-Crew a redundant helming unite which also works similar like an aeroplan helming system.

Also the stabilization wings are out of the negative moulds and we already started to assambleing spars, water ballast pipes and working on the connection for the water ballast tanks, too.

Finally hull gets its bulkheads and getting aligned very precisely with high tech laser equipment.

STAY TUNED AND GODSPEED!

PRE-PREG-CONSTRUCTION:
After finishing outer skin now we are into making the core and inner skin. Absolute high tech and light weight. 
HYDRAULIC

Also hydraulic cylinders are ready developed and started manufacturing. 

SENSORIC & HELMINGTOOLS

Already selected some hardware parts and thinking of Backhoff-System which is used by Emirates Team NZ.

STILL LOT TO DO - BUT ALSO VERY MUCH  EXITING!

In the category of CREATIV-INNOVATION V_REX is already voted in the 2nd level of the so called "EDISON-PREIS!".

This trophy will be granted only to the innovative and creative start-ups in Austria. 

After starting the this years Edison-Preis only 22 companies reached the 2nd step. Splited in 3 categories V_REX do have pretty good chances to reach a trophy of this very well known challenge.

Meanwhile negative moulding is in progress and now we are absolute confident, that the initial tests of V_REX can be done within 2020.

All the very best and GODSPEED!

Hull design finished!

The hull design is finished today and ready for CNC moulding.

We are close to our next mile stone once the first time a CNC milling machine will start working on the V_REX.

V_REX will be made out of full carbon fibre and in the best quality available in the international market. 

V_REX an outstanding concept becomes reality!

Of course initially you have an idea, how sailing could be more efficient, faster, easier to handle and safer.  A sailing boat, which turns the sailing concept up side down. Doing scientifically tests, showing the soft proof of the concept. Not enough and still a long way to the first prototype:

- Naval engineering

- Structural engineering and 

- System engineering AND

- do not forget the financial issue! :-) 

... which makes than out of an idea and some sketches a real working design. 

Now, we are close to realize the prototype and soon the first CNC will start working on our idea.

GODSPEED!

On the left hand side you see the development only of our bow which should have different purposes. 

a) extend the waterline in order to be faster in displacement mode

b) be sharp and aerodynamical, once V_REX is airborne and therefore not to cause turbulences. 

c) in case of a so called "Nose-Dive" develop some uplift through out of its upper shape.

d) the retractable bow will also work as an collision bulkhead.

e) throughout the retractable design, it will generate access to the Canard-Wing actuators  for maintenance. 

f)  and of course there is a fitting where you can simply fix your bow line.

This is just one example of one of our very simply pieces on the V_REX.
