In 2021, Caponnetto-Hueber led the CFD, foil design, and hydrodynamic engineering for the AC75 of Luna Rossa Challenge—the eventual Prada Cup winner. We deployed multiscale CFD and aero-hydro coupling to ensure optimum lift and control. Rapid iteration delivered performance gains under tight competition timelines.
