Novatech are proud to announce being a product sponsor for the Longbow jet hydroplane project, to build and run on UK lakes and lochs, as they work towards making a credible British attempt upon the outright world water speed record of 317.58 mph set in 1978 by the Spirit of Australia.
We have supplied a number of F256 load cells with load meters, which will be used within the project for a range of tasks. For example, measuring the weight of individual components as they are added to the craft during the build, determining Longbow’s overall weight at various stages of the build and how that weight is distributed over each of Longbow’s three planing shoes. The information gathered allows the calculation of the position of Longbow’s centre of gravity and weight moment about her transom. Really looking forward to watching the progress over the coming months.
