This project asks the question, can we eliminate one of the 3 struts?

While the simple answer is yes, (reference the success of the MOTH community) The longer discussion is more complicated.  

​

1)  Mission requires a wide footprint of stability, the Bi-Fin does not offer enough beam for roll axis moment.

2) Considering the the CG is fixed on centerline, pilot seated, the Bi-fin cannot rely on an active pilot / sailor moving CG outboard.

​

BONUS FEATURE:

STAY UP RIGHT.

All configurations can be configured to Self-Righting at will

(Patent Pending)

​

The Bi-Fin Project is Completed Focus on Tri-Fin configuration
