Airfish 8: This Futuristic Wing-in-Ground Effect Aircraft Will Change The Way People Travel

The Airfish 8 is a wing-in-ground effect aircraft developed by Singapore’s ST Engineering. It can carry two crew and either 8 passengers or up to a ton of cargo. It's a combustion powered seaplane requiring no particular infrastructure since it'll operate off regular jetty facilities and 500 horsepower V8 car engine fills up on regular unleaded.

Y hasta que oleaje puede tolerar?

It’s cool but it’ll run into the same problem all ekranoplanes run into. It can't go into any rough waters or storms

LITTORAL ships / craft is a whole important industry. They do not need face waves more than 12ft / 3.5m due to their specialized geographical location. This are important craft that serve where majority of humans live. They originate from Singapore because it's a STRAIT mad by the intersection of two peninsula and dotted with islands. Such littoral craft serve a very important role. Not everything has to be ocean going.

It must be only utilized in protected bay areas otherwise rogue waves above 25 feet over the ocean could wipe it out.

"otherwise rogue waves above 25 feet over the ocean could wipe it out" WTF that is not relevant. LITTORAL ships / marine craft is a massive industry that do not need to face waves more than 12ft. This is just the most exotic littoral craft. Not exactly protected bays but places like Singapore where it a massive strait dotted with islands. Maybe you should learn how maritime industry works first.

Привет.Почему наши разработки где то в Сингапуре,уже продали.А нам России что с этого .За науку рада ,довели до конца.Но сдается мне конструкторы СССР не об этом мечтали.
