Launched in 2017 after more than three years of research and two years of construction, the Maxi Edmond de Rothschild is the pioneer of great trimarans designed to fly offshore. Transformed from a classic Archimedean mode, with almost 50 sqm in contact with the water, to a flying mode where the 16-ton platform only rests on 4 sqm, the Gitana Team shows you the main phases of the five-arrow giant take-off through this 3D animation: Adjustment of the flaps and rudder elevators, details on the operation of the hydraulic system, fine-tuning of the foils incidence… come onboard the latest Gitana.
