FLARECRAFT®
Why Go Through The Waves ... When You Can 'Flare' Over Them!
SeaWing 2®
IMAGINE
"I was driving down the East River Drive in New York city, in heavy traffic on my way to work, when I looked over at the East River and said, 'There's a highway with no traffic'! That began a two decade challenge of a lifetime. IMAGINE if you could get to your island home in 20% of the usual travel time, go to a private island beach in minutes, not have to take an old dirty slow ferry, not get seasick, ride in the comfort of a Learjet, have the adventure of discovering lost continents you couldn't get to in a boat, go places you thought you'd never see, or beat the commute to work using waterways as highways - at less cost! Introducing SeaWing®. The solution to high-speed travel over water." William F. Russell, Jr. Founder & President
GROUND-EFFECT CRAFT
Is an extremely efficient winged vehicle (high lift-to-drag, low fuel consumption, low cost/seat-mile) that travels over surfaces, like water, at a limited height (half a wing span), operating (Flaring) in a zone known as "ground-effect", at high speed (100+mph). Flarecraft® are not regulated by the FAA as aircraft. They are registered with the US Coast Guard as a boat. SeaWing® is the new model Flarecraft® from Flarecraft Corporation.
TECHNOLOGY BREAKTHROUGH
The Director of Aeronautical Design for Flarecraft Corporation and one of today’s top aerodynamicist, with 54 aircraft to his name (two in the Smithsonian) explains: “The design has solved the fundamental problem of ‘pitch- up’ while uniquely increasing lift (18%) and stability in ground-effect”.
PRODUCTIVITY ADVANTAGE
(A MEASURE OF EFFICIENCY)
Our breakthrough SeaWing® ground-effect craft technology creates a "productivity advantage"
For example, Island Girl Ferry from Pine Island to N. Captiva Island, FL, charges $6/seat-mile, and from Ft Myers, FL takes three hours travel time; while the SeaWing® cost is $1/seat-mile and will take 12 minutes from Ft. Myers. Our electric powerplant is environmentally friendly and far more efficient than the large diesel engines used in ferry ships.
