Wing-in-ground-effect craft can open up coastal routes as alternatives to ships and without requiring airports. Singapore’s ST Engineering recently unveiled its Airfish design and announced that Turkey’s Eurasia Mobility Solutions will be the launch customer. In the U.S., Regent Craft is developing a model called the Viceroy to operate in areas including Florida and Hawaii.

Looks cool and effective
Fair weather vaporware.
I'd imagine only viable over very calm waters... so open ocean would be unlikely..?
Sea State 3 limit
Yes,@@andrewc965 - Sea State 3, which is almost calm.
With a wind limit of 15 knots (17 MPH, 28 km/h) open ocean operations would be very limited.
It is inherently dangerous. Turns to avoid obstacles or to even stop. If there is an accident, the occupants will hit the water at a high speed.
Monster-Wave, anybody?
🤘
Sounds like a big 12-cylinder powering this craft.
Rest in peace. Hanno Fischer.
Экраноплан👍
Very entertaing video. That said, this is legally not an aircraft and should not be called that. (narrator at 1:18 ) . According to the Chicago Convention 1944, Annex 7 and then adopted by almost all of the Aviation Authoties wordwide, the definition of an aircraft is:
"Any machine that can derive support in the atmosphere from the reactions of the air other than the reactions of the air against the earth’s surface."
Groundeffect vehicles (also known as wing-in-ground-effect, ground-effect crafts, wingships, flarecraft or ekranoplans) were specifically excluded from the definition of an aircraft.
Yes this is right.
Das kleinste Bodeneffektgerät, das ich je gesehen habe, schwebte schon vor ungefähr 50 Jahren über den Bodensee, unvergessen ist das riesige "Schwarzmeermonster" der Russen.
Traghetto per le isole...
Military application? The Houthis would love to have one of these.
ironically, with the HESA Bavar 2 Iran has built a military craft in the same configuration going back to Alexander Lippisch and Hanno Fischer in shape.
they need landing gear on these vehicles to drasticlly dampen landings... it wouldn't be hard to make and they could fit on the crafts in a streamline way.
They're bound to only use these in calm and low-wave weather. Combined with the way it flies in ground effect already, it'll be able to land just fine I'd bet.
@@Sire.EnglishI wish I could show you the video of it landing in calm conditions... I almost broke my back watching....
Only works on flat water. So basically will never work outside of a few very small areas of perfect weather, most of which are just small lakes, lol.
Garbage vaporware investor scams.
