🤝 From the America’s Cup to Exocet FlyingShape: when a meeting shapes innovation!
Pixel sur Mer brings 17 years of expertise in onboard electronics, industrialization & the EXOCET ecosystem.
MDS adds naval architecture, aero-hydrodynamics & advanced 3D algorithms.
Together, hardware & software converge into a complete, industrial-grade solution.
Exocet FlyingShape delivers real-time 3D vision of sails at sea ⛵️
LiDAR tech connects crew trim, theoretical shapes & actual sail behavior.
Continuous, reliable data — empowering sailors, architects & sailmakers. From America’s Cup to today: the missing link is here.
Exocet FlyingShape: we measure the imperceptible!
The first industrial solution for 3D sail vision. LiDAR sensors continuously scan your sails and dynamically rebuild their 3D shape: depth, twist, angle — everything becomes measurable and optimizable. Plug & Play and compatible with your existing systems.
A solution dedicated to the demanding markets of offshore racing, yachts & wind-assisted ships.
An innovation by Pixel sur Mer & MDS.
Pixel sur Mer et MDS présentent Exocet FlyingShape, une avancée majeure dans la mesure de la forme des voiles
Basé sur la technologie LiDAR, ce système modélise en continu les profils en navigation. Profil, creux, écarts : tout est mesuré pour affiner la performance, au plus près du design cible.
Intégré à notre écosystème Exocet, il marque un cap dans l’analyse de la performance embarquée.

Lorient, le 29 Juillet 2025 — Les entreprises Pixel sur Mer et MDS unissent leurs expertises pour lancer Exocet FlyingShape, une solution de mesure de forme des voiles basée sur la technologie LIDAR. Cette technologie permet enfin de visualiser, mesurer et optimiser ce qui, jusqu’alors, relevait de l’intuition et de la perception : la forme réelle des voiles en mer. Ce système innovant, entièrement intégré, vise à répondre aux besoins croissants des professionnels de la voile de compétition, du yachting de haute performance et du transport maritime à propulsion vélique.
