Sailrocket 2 Gets 65.45 Knot World Sailing Speed Record
Tuesday, December 04, 2012Congratulations to Paul Larson and his Team at Vestas Sailrocket for hiking the World Sailing Speed Record to 65.45Knots.
You can theorise all you like, have many Phd boffins doing detail calculations, ...but nothing convinces an engineer more than a basic physical test.
These are some of the first CompoTech Carbon Fibre beams with composite Dynamic Damping, cDD, being tested relative the same beam without the damping material.
These beams are destined for lightweight robotic applications where they are expected to improve the speed and accuracy of the tasks being performed.
CompoTech Carbon Fibre Composite beams have been deployed reliably for many years in many applications. The combination of the unique CompoTech manufacturing process, innovative composite, and clever design detail have resulted in stronger stiffer and lighter beams of all shapes. The addition of damping technology completes a portfolio of technology that will drive forward productivity for many CompoTech customers in a range of industries.
