Flapping-wing solution at heart of next-gen efficiency project

A consortium of seven industry and academic partners, including technology group Wärtsilä, is conducting a three-year EU funded research project to develop two symbiotic ship engine and propulsion innovations.

By combining a flapping-wing solution innovation with improved dual-fuel engine efficiency, the project aims to deliver a 30 percent reduction in fuel consumption.
