The breakthrough that changes everything
120 years after the Wright Brothers’ breakthrough at Kitty Hawk,
Aviator™ is giving boats the same precise, three-axis control that turned kites into fighter jets and space shuttles.
This is not an incremental improvement. This is the breakthrough that will redefine what’s possible in planing hull powerboats.
Boating is ready for takeoff
Aircraft have active control in pitch, roll, and yaw. Boats today only have yaw (rudder) control. The result: Boats tossed around and unable to cancel waves.
Aviator™ gives boats aircraft-level, three-axis control by incorporating Near-surface Foils™ that actively cancel waves and keep a calm, level deck underway.
How it works
Giving boats active control in pitch and roll - like an airplane
Our patent-pending StableGlide™ technology uses active Near-surface Foils™ located fore and aft of the boat’s center of gravity. Near-surface foils™ deliver aircraft-style control in both pitch and roll, generating powerful lift or downforce on demand. Controlled by a fly-by-wire system, they actively cancel waves to keep the boat calm and level. There’s an added bonus: near-surface foils™ create lift with far less drag than a hull does on the surface, so a boat with near-surface foils™ cruises more efficiently and uses less power to achieve the same speed.
StableGlide™ and our hull design technology are compatible with any planing hull category — from center consoles and sportfishing, to cruisers and day boats. The near-surface foils™ retract like an outboard for easy trailering and beaching. Swept leading edges shed debris, and the wings never extend below the props, preserving shallow draft underway.
The result: Significantly more capable boats with zero compromise to real-world usability.
When driving the boat, owners don’t have to worry or do anything. The system continuously monitors vessel attitude and speed, then adjusts the near-surface foils™ at split-second intervals to keep the boat level and comfortable. To everyone on board, it feels like the waves aren’t even there.
No pitching or pounding, no rolling or sudden attitude changes — just a confidence-inspiring, smile-making, smooth ride.

Let’s partner to build safer, smarter boats that are actively better than anything else on the water.
The new baseline
Active wave-canceling technology will be the expected standard on every new boat soon.
Boats that cannot actively cancel waves will no longer meet the market’s definition of a modern vessel.
