Wing In Ground Effect | Design Show 2015
Regent Seaglider is the world's first hydrofoiling wing-in-ground-effect vehicle - covers distances up to 180 miles at speeds up to 180 mph.
WIG craft are maritime vessels that would be built to maritime structural standards and designs include pontoons, water skis and possibly hydrofoils to allow for touch down on and lift-off from a water surface.
A Singaporean company is resurrecting a post-WW2 German design to commercialize a beautiful reverse-delta ground effect vehicle as a high-speed, high-efficiency ferry for 6-8 passengers. The Airfish 8 hovers serenely between 2 and 23 feet over the water and hits speeds of almost 120 mph.
Sea Cheetah's hydrogen-powered wing-in-ground (WiG) aircraft offers zero-emission, long-range coastal transport with enhanced efficiency.
Wing-in-Ground effect: The U.S. Army Must Have its Own Strategic Mobility--not puny V-22 gadget planes
The Piper Cub, an aviation icon, turns 75.
The 'radically different' design employs a foldable wing to make the VTOL land in confined places easily.
HSA Technology is a group of enabling technologies that makes possible the creation of vehicles that can travel on land and water.
https://youtu.be/pbAOAnnSTQI The design of submarines has not seen a radical change all these years, but this one designed by UAE-based startup, Highland Systems is all set to change that. With a shape seeming inspired by the manta ray, this underwater machine boasts a futuristic hydrodynamic design. The spanning wings can fold for easier transportation on

From a startup crowdsourcing so that it can build a wing-in-ground-effect maritime cargo vessel, to a demonstration of detect-and-avoid technology. Take a look at these and more in our daily roundup of aerospace & defense news.
It’s a boat, it’s a plane, it’s… DARPA’s new wing-in-ground-effect aircraft, and it’s heading into the design phase with two companies. Here are their designs.
The Skimmer flies closely over the water on a cushion of air, making use of the wing-in-ground effect. Starting from within the water the Skimmer, as its speed increases, will begin to rise out of, and ultimately loosen itself from the water.
If you've ever felt your life lacks that certain gut-wrenching fear of imminent impact and death, then have I got a jet ski for you. Starting out half-submerged in water, the Skimmer, using the wing-in-ground effect, achieves enough lift at 60 km/h to break from the water and at 100 km/h reaches an elevation of
