I just came across this. Interesting that it’s using a jet!

My experience is that with a jet you are more stable when going fast. Hard to describe but I got that feeling when testing an Aerofoils etron jet. I maxed it out at 46 km/h and it was relatively easy to keep the hight.

46km/h is fast! Not a speed I would want to fall off at😳
My comment on the jet for racing is based on my perception that a prop driven rig would accelerate faster - an advantage in a race imo
Mercury racing knows what they are doing though so maybe a jet is an overall better solution in the evolving world of EFoil racing.
They just needed to charge more money for the same thing with a different paint job…
That’s their normal Jet2. Maybe they went to 16S just to give it a little extra…
16S seems unlikely as that would not be allowed legal wise from my understading, 14S is the maximum. The impeller does look different, more ducted prop wise.
Where did you read that?
his is the Jet2. If you watch the video carefully its the same.
You don’t think they would really do that do you?
I heard that it was going to be 1/2 the price of the Flite Air and the first 100 customers get it free!!!
