Aquila 50
Project Aquila was born out of the idea to design a yacht that was respectful with the environment, being the answer to the increasing demand of the sustainable development and use of renewable energies to become an eco friendly yacht.
Defined as an eco-friendly yacht, this bio-inspired concept, with 50 meters in length overall and 11.2 meters beam, is defined as an eco-friendly yacht, shaped with natural and organic exoskeleton structure, providing a fluid and sculptural aesthetic to the yacht’s external appearance, according to the concept of the sustainability, braking with traditional yacht design.
This yacht design aims to redefine sustain sailing navigation while implementing futuristic technology. The major idea is that this concept features solar sails, builded thanks the advantages of CIGS technology, wich is a flexible semiconductor material composed by Copper, Indium, Gallium and Selenium (CuInGaSe2).
Replacing the big surfaces of the sails by solar flexible panels, provides it with the double functionality to harness the power of the sun to generate energy, while also using the wind power to move the yacht; highlighting the ability to operate entirely in a zero emissions mode, featuring green technologies to run the electric systems thanks to eco friendly sources.
Another quality of this yacht is that it is endowed with smart glass, providing users with control over their environment, better comfort and well-being while improving energy efficiency controlling precisely the amount of light, glare and heat passing through.
On the other hand, it has a big opening garage on both sides, storing one-off design 8 meters tender, jet skis and other toys; moreover it can be transformed into a beach club to offer the best sea experience to ten guests.
