Many boats feature a bulbous bow, a protruding bulb at the waterline, which might seem counterintuitive for cutting through water. However, this design marvel reduces drag by creating a wave that cancels out the bow wave created by the boat, improving fuel efficiency and stability. This innovation, derived from observing how dolphins break water, showcases how marine design often mimics nature. Have you noticed other examples where boat design is inspired by the marine environment? Share your insights!
