George,

Have you ever seen this one? Pretty neat, hovercraft + WIG, registered as a boat, no pilot license needed. Good videos here: http://www.universalhovercraft.com/ Click on 19XRW gallery for videos of this one, but they have a great variety, from beginner/trainer models to 10+ person ferry types.

Ehmm... the wing hover would be a nice solution for my logistic to rough river remote camp... really useful as it have a significant surface clearance... Thanks and a big dope of virtual injection... enjoy

Seen it in real life and I think posted it a few times.

It's not for me, I don't fly higher than I'm willing to fall.

Pericles,

Yes with Mokai Uk was more like a vacation than work got to see all the new boats and gadgets.

This would be a must see boat show I could have spent all day everyday taking pictures and still not caught it all.

This is how container cranes are delivered from China. Probably saves a lot of fuel when running before the wind, but they don't go to windward worth a damn. This ship was driven ashore near Rotterdam a few days ago, during a heavy storm. Imagine navigating that through a storm; talk about stability issues!

Nice pics George, My questions are; - - "Will it float?" & "Isn't it upside down?", "Who has that kind of money?"
"Did the duck make it?" if so, seems it could help others in defensive / evasive manouvers!

The site has many similar, Much appreciated, Thanks -mas-

Two different craft, both stealthy.

These are much cheaper:
