  • Great vehicle, cool music

  • Excellent work. I need to know more about these devices for civilian use. Passenger transport. Agradecere informame.

    Excelente trabajo. Sabes yo necesito más información acerca de estos aparatos para uso civil. Transporte de pasajeros. Agradecere informame.

  • On conclusion if you have money for a trip you can visit the demonstration area to test it in action. The test models (60 cm long) is a child toy and a lot of experience in research and development wanted (and money) to commercialize a WIG craft.

  • Because it has a low passenger capacity but it is can use as private craft or sea taxi in many areas like Bahamas in the past. If this craft was a crap why this craft has sales instead of others? If you want to overcome a typhoon then you can choose a bigger Ekranoplan (400 seats).

  • As you see from photos the craft has a usage on different surface environment, the size of the craft and the wing geometry is crucial for the performance. Anyway you dont see the craft max. wave operation limits, try to find out in the video and maybe you learn something more on WIG craft technology (1.25 m at 90 km/h). The craft is based on Alekseevs last civilian Ekranoplan model the Volga 2. Is crap too? The Aquaglide-5 basically is a demonstration craft on WIG craft technology.

  • Probably you dont have seen the presentation video in this video channel.

    You must learn a lot about GE vehicles; this GE craft is in production since 1998. You must know that the first Aquaglide 5 has put in operation is US with 11 crafts. Another thought as low the GE craft flaring then has more efficient is (low fuel consumption), for that reason they called ground effect. This crap is certified by registering authorities and IMO. Probably you dont see the bigger models.

  • Correct: one can not even see the craft in action! What a piece of crap. That machine, by the way, is totally inefficient and as a GE(suppose to be)craft is pathetic: max. 35 cm waves? When does one use it? at dawn on a VERY CALM DAY? What a joke!!!

  • Great vid.
