A Japanese concept of ekranoplan or WIG ship. It is a canard wing concept of wing in surface effect ship (WISES). The video shows a figure eight flight of radio controlled model.The size of the model is 7.2m in length. Usually remote operation of a flying model is usually not easy. However our ship shows smooth take off, circular flight and alighting on water.For more detail of the concept, target of the technology, please contact akimoto@sys.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp

  • WoW!

  • Very nice. I cannot see the propellers though.

  • It seems to get up and boogie way easy, needs more powerful engines though!

  • What are it's distance capabilities and or rate of consumption of fuel? Or is it battery powered?

  • Very impressive how slow it can fly

  • It's so slow compared to Russian built w.i.g. vehicles

  • reupload

  • how small are those engines? very nice

  • I see now it is a pretty smart design because of the Canard. What is the Horsepower rating of each engine?
