The AirFish8 is an alternative method of sea transportation, combining the technologies of aviation and marine craft.
Company Wigetworks have created AirFish8, a boat/plane hybrid that glides on water. Due to the machines unique structure, it is able to utilise what is known as the "Wing in Ground Effect." This is when an aircraft is able to produce additional lift when flying near the ground.
AirFish8 has a V8 car engine, which runs on unleaded petrol and can travel up to 121 mph; that's three times faster than typical marine craft.
The seacraft is currently still in a trial phase but the company hope to have it fully operational by mid2018.
