lHydroptère breaks through 51 knots

by l’Hydroptère 7 Sep 2009 10:54 UTC 5 September 2009

l'Hydroptère has just crossed the mythical 50-knot barrier with an average speed of more than 51 knots over 500 metres.

The data will be confirmed after the analysis of the measurements and will then be validated by the WSSRC.

25 knots of established winds and gusts of 28 knots were enough for l'Hydroptère to beat the absolute speed record.

The process has been faster than planned. This great performance rewards the commitment and the work of Alain Thebault and his crew members.
