AIRFISH

    The AirFish is a WIG craft boasting a compact footprint. Engineered to harvest the ground effect for efficiency, it can be operated by just 1-2 crew members while accommodating 8-9 passengers. Powered by a pair of robust automotive V8 engines, fueled by standard gasoline, the AirFish combines speed with practicality.

    Certified in accordance with International Maritime Organization WIG guidelines, it sets the standard for innovative maritime transportation.
