It's a ground-effect-plane... Basically, it flies a few feet above the water, so it has the benefits of a boat (go in a straight line: pretty flat, etc.) without all of the resistance of having to push water out of the way. Those jet engines force air under the wings, and propel it forward. They're really really fast (~550km/hr). Reply to this |
