Futuristic Marine Aircrafts

The 'Airfish 8' Craft Zooms Just Above the Surface Of the Water

— September 5, 2018 — Autos
A Singaporean company by the name of Wigetworks is looking to literally elevate the aircraft market with the introduction of the Airfish 8, a high-tech marine aircraft that promises the ability to transport passengers in an extremely efficient manner.

This particular marine aircraft is designed to hover just above the water, with its V8 race car engine making use of conventional unleaded fuel to send the craft zooming at speeds of nearly 200 km/h and a regular cruising speed of around 148 km/h. Elsewhere, this craft's long wingspan and carbon fiber body makes it a lightweight and aerodynamic vehicle.

In addition to transporting passengers safely and speedily, the Airfish 8 marine aircraft is looking to genuinely revolutionize travel by blending aspects of marine and air transportation.
Trend Themes
1. Hybrid Marine-air Vehicles - The combination of marine and air technology will lead to the development of new hybrid marine-air vehicles that can transport passengers efficiently and revolutionize travel.
2. Lightweight Carbon Fiber Design - The use of lightweight carbon fiber materials in marine and aviation industries will increase, providing opportunities for companies to innovate and optimize the design of their vehicles.
3. Efficient Unleaded Fuel-engines - The development of efficient and powerful unleaded fuel-engines for marine and aviation industries will present opportunities to create faster and more sustainable vehicles.
Industry Implications
1. Marine Transportation - The marine transportation industry can explore the use of hybrid marine-air vehicles as a faster and more efficient way to transport passengers.
2. Aviation - The aviation industry can explore the use of lightweight carbon fiber materials and efficient unleaded fuel-engines to optimize the design of their vehicles and make air travel more sustainable.
3. Tourism - The tourism industry can take advantage of the innovation in hybrid marine-air vehicles to provide unique travel experiences for their customers, such as tours of coastal regions or island-hopping adventures.
