How is this a first in any way? Ground effect vehicles have been a thing for decades.
“I made this.”
Perhaps they mean commercially produces ones. To my knowledge these have never gone past experimental prototype stages.
Russia had a maritime ground effect vehicle that was used as a ferry… decades ago.
This seems like the constant Android vs iPhone feature claims of
brand new never before seen! Except on your competitors flagships half a decade ago
Ah didn’t know about those, I only knew of electroplans.
WTF. It’s not the first by any means. The USSR had an insanely massive one that was so fucking cool looking and pointless. There were others.
Yeah I know of at least one company in the US
alreadyplanning on doing this with passenger service.The headline is bogus clickbait.
Would love to see one here in Seattle. Something from SEA to VIC or Vancouver would be amazing.
Yeah but you can’t make Sino Number #1 propaganda if you include the others.
Arguably the Spruce Goose was an (unintentional) ground effect vehicle because its one flight didn’t leave the ground affect regime.
But the USSR made tons of cool ground effect vehicles.
Completely different from all the other ground effect vehicles that have been flown over water in the many decades before, which were nothing like that at all.
That looks something Scrooge McDuck would fly on late 80’s to early 2000’s comics.
