SeaWing® 2
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". 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®.
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 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, while the SeaWing® cost is $1/seat-mile; and our electric powerplant vs the large diesel engines used in ferry ships required to push them through the water - no contest!
This increased efficiency creates value, competitive advantage, a higher gross margin (50%), and a higher ROI (12 month investment payback; 37% IRR).
