An innovative boat
Millikan Boats has not compromised on innovation. In addition to the solar wings, the latest generation of panels, the latest generation of engines, the M.9 also has an interface previously reserved for the automobile
Solar wings - Exclusive to Millikan Boat
The M.9 is equipped with two solar wings, which deploy as soon as it leaves the harbor. Activated by two simple and powerful marine cylinders, and retained by a tip and a cleat, the kinematics of the opening of the wings gives the impression of the flight of a bird, directly inspired by the cartoon "The Golden Cities".
When deployed, the wings provide 20% more energy to the boat, without affecting navigation or visibility.
When returning to port, the wings are simply folded down by pulling on the tip, guided by a hoist and held by the cleat. The maneuver is very similar to lowering a sail. For the port manoeuvre, the cleat combined with the force of the jacks, allows to leave one or the other wing half-open, in order to make pass the possible hang.
