The Icon is BMW and Tyde GmbH\u2019s first foray into the world of electric hydrofoil yachts. The Icon flies above the brine on three hydrofoils. These lift-generating appendages work in concert with the vessel\u2019s twin rudders to balance gravity and centrifugal force while executing turns to yield what Tyde terms \u201ccoordinated curve control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christoph Ballin, Tyde\u2019s co-founder and managing director, says the toughest challenge his company faced when creating The Icon involved assembling the right team. While BMW initiated the project\u2019s development and build, and is responsible for the yacht\u2019s luxe interior and exterior design, Tyde\u2019s crux involved bringing cutting-edge marine expertise\u2014including forward-leaning companies and individuals with deep experience with hydrofoils and flight-control systems\u2014to the design table. The magnet? \u201cThe concept was convincing,\u201d Ballin says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flight control is handled by a centralized foil-control system that Tyde developed with Oceanflight Technologies. The system\u2019s algorithm crunches incoming data from the vessel\u2019s sensors 100 times per second, and it leverages custom-built actuators to articulate the vessel\u2019s hydrofoils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Icon is powered by dual Torqeedo Deep Blue electric motors that each spin a dedicated contra-rotating propeller. Hull and hydrofoil design was tackled by America\u2019s Cup-winning naval architect Guillaume Verdier; as such, The Icon\u2019s hull contributes to smooth takeoffs and landings. The Icon achieves a (ballpark) 50-nautical-mile range at its 24-knot cruising speed. Top speed is 30 knots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
