About Aero 45 Matigas na Inflatable Yacht

Ang Aero 45 ay isang matigas na inflatable yacht na idinisenyo para sa mahahabang paglalakbay na pang-libangan. Ang 14 metrong hull ay gawa sa aluminum, na nagbibigay ng lakas, magaan na bigat, at mas kaunting epekto sa kapaligiran. Ang isang pinatentehang disenyo ng hull ay nagpapalit ng alon-galaw (wake) tungo sa pasulong na galaw, na nagpapabuti sa kahusayan at kakayahang tumakbo sa dagat. Ang mga D-shaped na tubo ay nagdaragdag ng humigit-kumulang 50 porsyentong mas malaking panloob na lapad para sa higit na kaginhawaan. Ang semi-transparent na solar panel na T-Top ay sumasaklaw sa bahagi ng pangangailangang de-kuryente kapag hindi ginagamit ang sasakyang-dagat. May dalawang garahe na naglalaman ng isang stand-up jet ski at isang maliit na motorsiklo. Ang yacht ay maaaring patakbuhin ng isang tao lamang.

Unique Properties: Aero is the only luxury, recreational RIB of this size made out of aluminum which not only gives superior strength and lightness to the structure but is also environmentally friendly. The other unique feature is the ultra efficient patented hull technology that converts wakes into forward movement. She had 2 toy garages which guarantee the utmost fun as they reveal a stand up jet ski as for sporty exploration in water and a minibike for ashore. A semi-transparent solar panel T-Top that covers a substantial amount of energy requirements when idle. Last the D sectioned tubes offer 50% more internal beam and thus comfort.

Production Technology: Aero 45 combined our capabilities with those of two different naval engineers. The one, responsible to adjust the hull design with his patented technology that converts wake into forward movement thus increasing efficiency and seakeeping capabilities and the other who was responsible for the structural development assuring the integrity of the system. Semi transparent solar panels will cover partially the electricity needs of the vessel when idle. Finally, there is an option to have a fully electrically powered version in the near future.
Design Challenge: Aluminum construction is very different from the typical plastic one done through molds. Aluminum has developable surfaces that limit 3axis curvature and detailing making aesthetic design very challenging. A lot of reading and discussions with welders took place to understand what is possible and what not.
Research: The research has been an ongoing process of hands on extensive use of Rigid Inflatable Boats of various sizes and shapes for at least 18 years to understand what is really important and required for users to have a real and full experience of boating in all weather conditions while remaining so close to the sea level.
Extensive research was done to decide the hull design which is one of the core aspects of a boat design including bibliography and empirical studies.
Inspiration: The challenge of turning the classic lines and slender, low profile shape of a rigid inflatable boat into a luxury vessel that fulfils the needs of an experienced sea-voyager has led us to develop a new approach on sea keeping, sustainability in materials, efficiency, and comfort at sea. The arrow-like shape which provides an almost invisible cabin area, two toy garages and a magnificent deck layout is a combination of the round, delicate and smooth tube shape with the aggressive corners of the alloy development.
Project Duration: Aero is a project that has been worked as a concept for over 10 years prior reaching this stage. It started in Paris in 2008 as a concept and due to global financial crisis its realization was postponed until September 2019 when the team was put in place and design begun. The actual design implementation has taken just over 2 years of extreme co-ordination between the parties involved and expect full construction drawings to be finished by October 2021. We expect actual construction to take about 12 months.
Operation Flow: Aero 45 can be managed by single captain without any crew, given easy access from helm to bow and stern due to strategically positioned seat at the starboard side. Equipped with joystick and bow thruster permits precision handling. This facility provides full privacy. Interior cabin areas and respective amenities offer enough space for a family to stay onboard for two weeks without calling any port.
The design also provides for a crewed cruise with minimum interference with guests given the walk-around wet bar and crew accommodation dedicated to the crew.
