Unmanned electric wing‑in‑ground‑effect vessels deliver goods to time‑ and price‑sensitive coastal destinations, flying just above the water to be much faster than boats and far cheaper than aircraft. First‑generation 30‑ft semi‑autonomous craft dock at existing marinas, beaches and ramps, use green technologies for high energy efficiency and zero greenhouse‑gas emissions, and are classified as marine vessels to avoid airspace regulation.
