In Russia, developed a unique 150-local high-speed catamaran

5
The latest swimming tool was developed by employees of the Krylov State Scientific Center. The unique catamaran, dubbed the Sapsan, thanks to its innovative form will be able to develop speeds comparable to those of some ships.





The brainchild of engineers from KGNTS will be able to take on board 150 passengers. At the same time, the ship will cover a distance of 1000 nautical miles (1852 km), developing a speed of up to 30 knots (65 km / h).

According to the developers, “Sapsan” is called upon to help develop communication between inaccessible settlements (in particular in Siberia and the Far East) and become the basis of a modern domestic high-speed fleet, both river and sea. In the case of the latter, the novelty will be able to swim even with 4-point storms, during which the waves reach 2 meters in height. Ultimately, the boat should contribute to the partial removal of the load from road and rail transport.

Also, it is worth noting that the high speed of the catamaran is provided not only by powerful engines, but by the unique form of the device, based on original engineering solutions and innovative principles of shipbuilding. And due to inexpensive Russian aluminum, domestic automation and navigation, the price of Sapsan can be reduced to 120 million rubles, which is several times cheaper than foreign counterparts.

      Something is not clear.

      Or it has already been created (built), and then you can be proud
      Or another project - in the article the whole future time - and there is nothing built, and not a word about real orders.
      There are plenty of such projects in any design bureau.

      And then this is just another lie in the title. Unrequited.

        The article says DEVELOPED and there is no deception. If they said they did it, but it is not in reality, then it’s a hoax.

      30 knots is 55,56 km / h, but not 65 at all.
