Description:
The Amphfoil project is the result of a decade of engineering and R&D by Walt Schulz, founder and president of Shannon Boat Company since 1975. The Amphfoil is a revolutionary multi-patented amphibious boat solution to augment existing water transportation. It uses proven hydrodynamic and aerodynamic technology to travel in the water in three speed stages: 0-25 mph in crowded harbors, 35-50mph and 50-100 mph in open waters. It can be constructed inexpensively using basic "off the shelf" engines, controls, electronics and well established molded carbon fiber construction. We are currently seeking seed investors to build the 30'/9m Amphfoil demonstrator boat to introduce it and market it globally to recreational boat building companies, public transport firms, international coast guard, commercial companies and international military.
