    Good point: I assume testing on rough seas will be done before it's offered for sale. Tech note: Thumbs up for subtitles, but the background music is really loud compared to the narrator's voice. That makes it tough for non-native speakers to understand. Maybe lower the music's volume a bit?

    "Lower than high-speed marine craft at high speed"
    So probably higher than a conventional ship at practical speeds

    With a larger wingspan, mass, or engine, a ground-effect aircraft can cruise higher, 5m+.

    I do not believe aircraft intentionally fly into hurricanes...Fascinating craft, The best of Luck. Have You thought about cargo ships for the U.S. Great Lakes in lieu of ice trucking, seems potentially so much safer than a semi!

    Cool concept, but there's this issue of self destruct in choppy seas. Fair weather flying only!

      That is so true, though I'm thinking they use some sort of forward radar system, which should identify most surface mammals
