Capabilities
Low radar signature
Flying a few metres above the sea keeps the craft below most radar horizons.
Water take-off and landing
Operates from the sea itself. No runway, no airfield, no port required.
Above the waves
Aircraft speed with the efficiency of flying on a cushion of air.
Autonomous
Designed to fly without a crew on board, supervised remotely.
Missions
Built for the sea, not the airfield.
- Maritime surveillance
- Long, low patrols over open water and coastlines.
- Search and rescue
- Reach a position at sea fast, and land on the water when you get there.
- Coastal and island logistics
- Move supplies between ships, islands and shore without a runway.
- Payload delivery
- Carry and release mission payloads at sea-skimming height.
Why ground effect
Fast like an aircraft. Efficient like a boat.
A wing flying close to the water rides on a cushion of its own air, so it needs less power for the same lift. That lets an electric craft cover real distances at aircraft speed, a few metres above the sea.
Our craft are designed to the IMO guidelines for Wing-In-Ground craft (MSC.1/Circ.1592). We build and fly them ourselves in Chennai, ten times bigger every six months.
