Commerical Ekranoplan flying in Australia, China, South East Asia.
The Sea Eagle bridges the gap between maritime and air transportation. Classified as a Class B WIG Craft Class B(Wing-in-Ground Effect Craft) by the United Nations International Maritime Organization (IMO), the Sea Eagle is basically a hybrid between a boat and an airplane, combining the benefits of both worlds while eliminating most of their disadvantages. We are one of the primary WIG manufacturer in Asia that has achieve Class B Wing in Ground Effect status. Our WIG can withstand inter sea travel, and can do dynamic jump up to 50 meter above the sea.

Wing-in-Ground effect crafts skim very low over the water, typically at a height of 10 to 50% of their wing span. Due to the pressure increase under the wing at these low altitudes, the lift generated is up to 80 % greater than when the wings are out of ground effect, and the aerodynamic drag is almost eliminated. This double effect makes wing-in-ground effect crafts extremely efficient vehicles, requiring significantly less fuel than an aircraft needs to cover the same area, with the same payload.

Ground effect as a theoretical category is an asymptotic value which decreases with increase of altitude. Theoretically it reduces to zero at very high altitudes. For practical reasons, the IMO has determined that a craft is considered to be in ground effect when its altitude is equivalent to 50 % of the average of its wing chord.

* WIG craft reduces the cost of IMO licensing of the craft.
* WIG craft reduces the cost of the hull, using marine hull, instead of aircraft hull.
* WIG craft reduces the ownership cost by 40% of the craft compared to a similar seaplane.
* WIG craft reduces the infrastructure cost to nil. compare to the airport tax that planes has to pay.
* WIG craft reduces the fuel cost by up to 75%, becos of its fuel efficieny while it is in ground effect.
* WIG craft reduces the maintainence cost as the craft is made of composite fiber, and is corrosion free.
The owner has lots of cost savings.

  • lol what revolution, it is old soviet technology, look on caspean monster

  • Russian Millitary Capesan Monster, is a 500 ton monster, that consume fuel more than 3 times its own weight. It is never meant to be fuel efficient, and commercial viable.

    this small WIG for cilivian purpose, has actually become a fuel efficient plane that consume 30 litres of fuel per hour, and it is meant for commercial viability.

  • the km caspian sea monster had 544 ton payload, what payload have the sea eagle ?????

  • @619cactusjack caspian sea monster will never be manufactured again, according to my russian source. since it is for millitary usage. but sea eagle is meant for cilivian commercial usage.

  • Russian 60-80 s hi tec

  • Mate , the a/c cannot create enough lift to fly clear of ground-effect. Consequently, once it gets to a certain height - say 10 feet or so, it is then unable toto climb any higher.

  • So this is a Type B right? Do you guys have any Type C (which can and are allowed to go out of ground effect higher than 150 meters) and if yes are videos of that available?

  • "Иволга2" всё равно лучше.

  • Chinese don't invent, they copy!

  • @pingfaninsg

    But its not revolutionary .Its based on Ekranoplan. Besides.. Russian and German also work on Civil Ekranoplan. + Russian do have big size Civil Transport schematics for mass produce.

    I don't see nothing revolutionary. Just healthy competing .

  • i cant wait this one:

    Flying Cruise Ship...

  • Fly in ground effect is the same as flying at higher altitude, same aerodynamics and physics laws, weight, wing span, drag…all follow same bases.

  • @thatcatsonlygot1eye An A/C generates its lift with airspeed, more airspeed = more lift. The only difference in ground effect (GE) is that the wings generate more lift at same airspeed. SO an A/C is capable of fly SLOWER in GE while still generating enough lift to stay aloft, and that same airspeed won’t generate sufficient lift at higher altitude. But that only if you fly at MINIMUMS and close to stall airspeed. Accelerate your craft a few 10 or 15 Kt and you will be able to fly higher.

  • To make a boat fly you don’t just stick wings to it, you deal with same aerodynamic factors of an airplane. You need a strong structure but lightweight, so you will end up with a monocoque type (same as airplanes), to propel in the air you will need a propeller, to give stability you will need an Empennage To control it in the air you need, elevators for pitch attitude, ailerons to be able to turn, rudder to avoid slips or skids and compensate for crosswinds. So it is a boat or an aircraft?

  • @flightboat I already know aerodynamics is nonsense for you. My intentions when I posted in your video was to share my opinion, sorry if I expose your ignorance on this matter. You approach to these machines are the same as a 8 y/old kid, You believe they fly on a “magic bubble” of air and can be flown by a boat’s captain by filtered commands, either you are 8 y/old, or some mentally retarded living in your parent’s basement. Uploading videos from others doesn’t make you an expert.

  • @gema244

    You are a great stubid and dangerous pilot too. I have delete youe posts idiot because we don;t want to read your nonsenses. Try to read some book for WIG crafts before you spell out because you are very idiot.
