Our next goal is to use this method when designing more efficient hydrofoils for ferries in the future,\u201d said research leader Arash Eslamdoost to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2022\/06\/220602095118.htm\">Science Directly<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers claim that their method will boost the development of new hydrofoil designs that can reduce water resistance by up to 80%, which would, in turn, significantly increase the range of battery-powered ships.<\/p>\n<p>Even fossil-fuel-powered vessels could benefit from it, as the reduced water resistance could bring down fuel consumption by 80%.<\/p>\n<p>The team believes that their method is paving the way for the use of hydrofoils in larger passenger ships, allowing them to travel in a safe, controlled, and greener way.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in the full research, you can find it <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2077-1312\/10\/3\/372\/htm\">here<\/a>.\n                        <\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
