Concept Strong outrigger support-arms with "ground-effect" lift

The BGV design concept is that of a pseudo-trimaran with a long central displacement hull with two aft lateral outriggers and foils giving ever-positive-lift.

Perfect all-round visibility from steering/control position

Seakeeping is ensured by the great waterline length of the central hull, by the fine water entry that make it a true wave-piercer, by the rear outriggers and a very low centre of gravity compared with conventional high-speed craft. The natural sea-keeping is enhanced further by a stabilisation system : - Rolling is controlled by a pair of active ailerons under the side outriggers. - Transverse stability by a system of aft flaps (set on the rear transom of the main hull our outriggers). - Course stabilisation provided by one or two fins according to the version. Slender hull with wave-piercing stem

Speed for equal power has been increased by : - A central hull with very fine water entry and low wetted-area. (Optimised by tank testing on models of the 120 and 170 metre version designs) - Ground effect generated by the wings connecting the outriggers to the central hull. This is more noticeable for the models at the start of the range. - The positive lift effect from the outrigger foils. - A particularly aerodynamic designing of the superstructures together with reduced dunnage. - The rear is designed optimally for speeds over 50 knots.

Foils: providing stabilization, damping and lift

BGVs are high-speed craft designed to carry passengers, vehicles and trucks, also having military applications. All versions feature the following advantages : - High speed - Excellent seakeeping - Lower running costs than their equivalents - Excellent manoeuverability

Added to the above are the advantages of a low draught and excellent docking manoeuvrability. The BGV concept comes in several versions, but from one model to another all BGVs retain these characteristics, making them a special concept uniting speed, economy and comfort.

Flow results at 35 knots in force-4 swell

December 2005 - February 2006: series of comprehensive tests at the Val de Reuil (DGA) basins: more extensive tests for speeds of 30 to 55 knots. Comparative tests were carried out: with and without appendages, on calm water and with swells of force 3 to 5.

In order to predict the aerodynamic behaviour developed around the BGV when this last is in cruising speed at very high velocity, the present study attempted to quantify and to analyze this behaviour in the real conditions of operation of the boat. The ground effect required by the use of the wings is reached since the later make it possible to develop a sufficient lift compared to the objectives of the designer. Optiflow calculations.

This craft comes under Category B covering high-speed craft transporting more than 450 passengers onboard. The machinery and safety equipment shall be designed such that if any essential machine or safety equipment, in whatever compartment it might be, becomes out-of-service, then the craft is still able to navigate in complete safety. Supervision of the construction is by Bureau Veritas under the notation : I 3/3 E - High-speed craft - Cat.B / passenger and vehicle carrier AUT PORT - F - CNC E - STB.CSA - VERISTAR (hull and machinery). The BGV 166 is a high-speed craft conceived for summer service for passengers and their vehicles, then a winter service for passengers, vehicles and trucks. A special deck layout has been designed to facilitate manoeuvring and docking. Such a feature will also permit rapid loading and offloading.

CHARACTERISTICS OF 52-knot BGV The central hull has been widened at the rear end to optimise the hull at over 50 knots. The lift from the foils is estimated at 140 tons. The ground effect has been optimised by the Optiflow company's study on slightly-modified wing shape. This lift is given for 55 tons. The lift from the foils and the ground effect contribute to the maintaining of horizontal trim.
