- Maritime surveillance and littoral engineering teams
- Worth noticing
- The published mission model leaves 56 Wh after a 5 km flight, hover, 1 km underwater leg, and return; it is for Prototype 1 without the autonomy kit.
Field notes
The page describes a model-driven design pipeline: a parameter file generates a native CAD model, followed by automated checks of geometry, mass, and physics. It reports screening 10,886,400 architectures, evaluating 621,774 against physics, and narrowing to 19,435 feasible candidates before seven prototype generations led to P7R v1.0. The stated hardware uses carbon spars and printed lattice skins; the page says each published figure still has a test planned.
