Australia's Flite AMPJet Propulsion System Wins Red Dot: Best of the Best Award

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Flite, an electric hydrofoil manufacturer and subsidiary of Brunswick Corporation, has won the Red Dot: Best of the Best award for its AMPJet propulsion system, developed by its FliteLab* performance and innovation division. The product scored 99 out of 100 points in the international design competition.

The AMPJet is a detachable jet cartridge fully integrated into the hydrofoil structure, designed by product architect Chris Reynolds. The system generates 25 kg (55 lbs) of thrust without the additional drag of external components, pioneering a new configuration in the hydrofoil-assisted category. Suitable for prone surfing, wing foiling, paragliding foiling, and downwind foiling, it enables users to reach wave zones inaccessible by paddling alone. Flite launched the FliteLab* series of hydrofoils equipped with this system in 2025.

Flite President Nick Stickler stated that the award recognizes the level of hydrofoil technology, and the AMPJet represents a fundamental shift in propulsion design, offering riders performance, efficiency, and versatility, expanding their capabilities on the water. The Red Dot: Best of the Best award is only granted to products that embody innovative design and outstanding quality in each category. Flite was founded in Byron Bay, Australia, in 2016.
