120 years after the Wright Brothers’ breakthrough at Kitty Hawk, Aviator™ is giving boaters the same precise, three-axis control that turned kites into fighter jets and space shuttles.
This is not an incremental improvement. This is the breakthrough that will redefine what’s possible in power boating.

Aircraft have active control in pitch, roll, and yaw. Boats today only have yaw (rudder) control. The result: Boats tossed around and unable to cancel waves.
Aviator™ gives boats aircraft-level, three-axis control by incorporating Near-surface Foils™ that actively cancel waves and keep a calm, level deck underway.

Our patent-pending StableGlide™ technology uses active Near-surface Foils™ located fore and aft of the boat’s center of gravity. Near-surface foils™ deliver aircraft-style control in both pitch and roll, generating powerful lift or downforce on demand. Controlled by a fly-by-wire system, they actively cancel waves to keep the boat calm and level. There’s an added bonus: near-surface foils™ create lift with far less drag than a hull does on the surface, so a boat with near-surface foils™ cruises more efficiently and uses less power to achieve the same speed.
StableGlide™ and our hull design technology are compatible with any planing hull category and make every type markedly better — from center consoles and sportfish to cruisers and day boats. The near-surface foils™ retract like an outboard for easy trailering and beaching. Swept leading edges shed debris, and the wings never extend below the props, preserving shallow draft underway. The result: Significantly more capable boats with zero compromise to real-world usability.
When driving the boat, owners don’t have to worry or do anything. The system continuously monitors vessel attitude and speed, then adjusts the near-surface foils™ at split-second intervals to keep the boat level and comfortable. To everyone on board, it feels like the waves aren’t even there. No pitching or pounding, no rolling or sudden attitude changes — just a confidence-inspiring, smile-making, smooth ride.
Contact us to learn more about StableGlide™ and our design breakthroughs. Let’s partner to build safer, smarter boats that are actively better than anything else on the water.

Aviator™ tech makes boating safer and more accessible for families and serious boaters, delivering a confidence-inspiring experience that overcomes motion discomfort and fear of rough water conditions.
Partner with boatbuilders to use our patent pending technology to create boats that are dramatically safer, supremely comfortable, highly efficient, more capable, and infinitely more enjoyable.
Aviator Boats™ is a team of pilots, sailors, NASA veterans, an astronaut, and veteran boat builders pushing the boundaries of marine design. Our patent pending technology delivers aircraft-level, three-axis control to boats, solving the biggest problems — pitching, pounding, bow rise, inefficient cruising, and wave-induced oscillations — so boats can cancel waves instead of amplifying them.
Our team brings deep cross-disciplinary experience designing and building some of the most advanced boats, aircraft, USVs, and UAVs ever made. We have test-piloted modern fighter jets, raced sailboats, flown Space Shuttle missions, led NASA spinoff programs, and even won the Boat of the Year award for sport sailboats. Driven by our passion for sea and sky, we founded Aviator Boats™ to empower a new generation of safer, more comfortable, and more enjoyable boats worldwide.
