The Fin5

Responsible. Powerful. Revolutionary.

A world premiere.

The Fin5 is the world's first finned boat motor, without propeller. 100% electric, safe, 2 kW (equivalent in thrust to a 5 HP engine), the first FinX product is dedicated to small boats (boats and tenders) and sailing boats up to 3 tons. A true technological innovation, this engine has the particularity of not "mixing" the fluid as a propeller does, but of propelling it in a straight line, like the silent power of marine mammals. Patented and high performance, the Fin5 will be industrialised and marketed in 2022.

In line with the major challenges of the 21st century, its undulating membrane allows propulsion at the same speed as a propeller, without mixing water. This bio-inspired technology respects aquatic life and its communication codes. Quieter than heat engines, it causes less turmoil.

FinX propulsion technology provides key benefits:

• 100% safe: no risk of cutting or injury due to the absence of a propeller. The membrane does not get tangled in ropes, plastics or algae;

• extremely robust against marine debris and algae: there is no risk of entanglement;

• low maintenance: the motor is very simple, consisting of only a few parts. It has no crankshaft or axle;

• high performance: fast response on start-up, like a fish with a few strokes of its fins;

• more energy efficient: less losses generally induced by the rotary movement of the propeller and guarantee of a speed equal to that of the propeller at the same power;

• quieter: less noise disturbance for sailors and marine life (no mechanical parts in friction), and reduced cavitations.

Having is one of the winners of the "Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games" Call for Innovations (France Mobilités, Ministry of Ecological Transition), aimed at promoting green mobility during the Games, FinX will have the honor of motorizing 5 shuttles on the river Seine with the Fin150, FinX second product, 100% electric, 100kW, equivalent to 150 HP, powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
