Once it reaches 10 knots (19km/h), its composite fiber hull rises 60cm above the water on three self-deploying carbon fiber foils - one at the front, two One is at the back. It can then cruise smoothly at 18 knots (33 km/h).
According to the designer, it should be able to run for 2.5 hours at this speed after charging for 4 minutes at a hydrogen station. Its top speed is 22 knots (41 km/h).
Like Bubble Taxi, SeaBubble uses gyroscopes and altitude sensors to continuously measure pitch and roll angles and automatically stabilize itself accordingly.
