Come fanno Luna Rossa e le barche dell’America’s Cup a volare? La tecnologia dei foil negli AC75

Luna Rossa and other boats we're seeing at the America's Cup, the AC75s, can literally fly above the water. But how do they do it? It's all thanks to the foils, two T-shaped appendages positioned on the sides of the AC75s that allow them to lift off the water and reach speeds three times faster than the wind. In this video, we'll analyze how this technology works and discover why foil technology is essential in the world's most exciting sailing competitions. 00:00 How does Luna Rossa fly above the water? 01:04 Foil technology: characteristics and operation 03:06 Why are the America's Cup boats so fast? 06:47 Where is the crew positioned on Luna Rossa? 07:36 Who are the crew members? 08:11 The role of cyclists on the AC75s: what are they for? 9:21 Greetings from the Luna Rossa team: the Formula 1 of the sea Credit: Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli DLR, CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 - Flight Control of the Future: The Numerical Simulation NASA OUR OTHER RECOMMENDED VIDEOS:    • In uno dei cantieri più grandi d’Europa pe...      • Dentro un veliero da guerra del '700 con 1...      • Il dietro le quinte di una nave crociera, ...   #geopop #lunarossa #americascup
