Talking Foils with Martin Fischer

Foil designers Tiesda You and Martin Fischer discuss the new X15 foil's front wing.
This wing was designed by Martin Fischer, Charles Dhainaut and Mathieu Durand using a new automatic-optimisation method that iterates around 7000 times to converge towards an optimal design - for each section!

really cool. Are these going to be the 2024 wings? Same fuselage, I hope?

bloody interesting !! good work guys !!! bravo Martin tu gères !!!

If I understand correctly, you optimize a 3D wing shape so that the lift-to-drag ratio is higher than a certain value, but how is this ratio determined for a given shape? It seems very difficult to simulate hydrodynamic flow.

The fuselage will be compatible with IQ mast?
