For more than two decades, Raphaël Dinelli has combined his passion for adventure with his commitment to sustainable mobility. An accomplished sailor, he has made a name for himself in major ocean races: winner of the 1997 Transat Jacques Vabre, 3rd in the 1998 Route du Rhum and 10th in the 2008 Vendée Globe. His expeditions are like applied research laboratories, where he tests innovative technological solutions. An experienced pilot of aeroplanes and experimental aircraft, in 2007 he founded the Fondation Laboratoire Océan Vital, which he heads up to develop concrete innovations in the fields of green aviation, renewable energies and carbon-free mobility. A pioneer in vertical axis wind turbines, photovoltaic encapsulation and bioclimatic buildings, he presented the Eraole hybrid aircraft at COP21, setting records for range and altitude in its category. Today, through 49 SUD, his design office, he is focusing his expertise on the development of Climate Impulse, a liquid hydrogen aircraft that he will co-pilot with Bertrand Piccard. Designed to demonstrate the feasibility of sustainable solutions and their transferability to other mobility models, Climate Impulse will pave the way for a new era of clean and innovative transport.
