Budget
1700 K€ over 3 yearsProject label in May 2009 and co-financed (Feasibility study of 460 k €) by the Directorate of Marine Fisheries and aquaculture through the Call for Projects "Reducing dependence on fishing vessels with diesel.The project goal is to develop simulation tools for aeroelastic modeling of a sail in motion in order to quantify the propulsive force that generates and quantify the gains in fuel it is able to provide boats fishing.
