Flying Boat
This episode explores the engineering secrets of one of the world’s most extreme powerboats as it tears through the Florida Keys at 140 mph battling for world supremacy.
To clinch the world title, the New Zealand based Profloors team must survive an unpredictable course, and defeat fierce rivals. Two V8 engines power the boat around the course at breakneck speeds, while a streamlined catamaran shape lifts the hull half out of the water.
Blowing apart this state-of-the-art machine with CGI reveals clever technology packed into every inch of the vessel – a shock-proof roll-cage protects drivers in a crash, and hypersensitive steering helps the driver manoeuvre past the competition.
