Panagiotis Zagklis (Greece) has edited video with WSH-500 filmed by Discovery Channel on May 2013. Webs sites: www.hoverwing.webs.com or www.wingship.com
Wonderful, I have always wanted this technology to advance. I'm very happy to know the Koreans are on it. I spent a year in Korea and loved it, hardest working people I have ever met.
It looks great! I hope it goes into service very soon. But...when you can fly commercial for $200 for a return trip of 500 miles, is this actually viable as a competitor to commercial passenger jets?
I don't see why people say its dangerous. The hydrofoils and catamarans are very fast on water and obstacles can be hit with a fast boat as well. Is not like they are driving this on the streets, the sea has no buildings and you rarely see boats once you are away from the coast. Visibility is good plus it has radars, gps all sorts of technology. it is as safe as a catamaran and probably a with a more stable ride. If it hits a wave, this things still have catamaran and hovercraft technology. Just like speed boats ,the weather conditions will limits its use days.
It's not a well spread technology yet. So safety records is not yet stack up. It reminds me how a particular distinguished scientist (or at smart person, what ef) of the early days of trains, warned that people put them self in danger by death of suffocation while traveling on a train faster than 40 mph. Now daredevils doing 60's while doing silly things on their vehicle.
Austin Massey you don't have any idea from this technology check from the video in the link that a wingtip strike in the water don't have any impact in the vessel: www.wigetworks.com/wing-tip-strike/ Also there are videos from ekranoplan with wingtip strikes in the water without any impact in the vessel.
5 meters or 16.4 feet is how high it can go how many white caps are that high? Crosswinds the ocean is vast and relatively empty so getting pushed around is not devastating just a course correction to fix.
Groundbreaking inventor, Thank you for bringing new thoughts to the table. What should we do if it wasn't for genius idea?(All made by him) Inventor of them all.
+Steppeulv What a grounbreaking invention... ? Its a shame, that its not a new tecnology. Ekranoplans like this (and bigger ones) were built in the soviet union, back in 1966. Search for caspian sea monster...
1:54 Ah well, the elephant in the room just appeared. This thing is only useful in good weather. I get it that no new design is not without problems but this is a fundamental flaw IMO.
+TheGreatUtopiaCat No its called ekroplan, and since it was a fruit of the soviet union, outside of military circles, noone knows about this old technology in the west. Once it was the worst dream for coastal defences, as it flies in the height not cowered by air defense radars, nor by radars focused on ships, has a great cargo capacity, and can travel well over 200 km/h... and no one wanted the soviet tank armada to appear in surprise somewhere in the US west coast.
You don;t know very well the history of ekranoplans. These vessels invented by Scandinavians on 1920!!! later on a German designer Dr. Alexander M. Lippisch (1950) has build in US a craft of this class.
Does 175 Km/h is "untouchably fast"? Russian "Orion-20" can do 220-250 Km/h cruise speed. "Orion-40" will have the same speed. About another WIG "Burevestnik-24": The ekranoplan has three travelling modes: at speed of 30 km/h it floats like an ordinary motor boat, at 120 km/h it starts planing on the water surface, at 240 km/h it raises above the water and activates its ekranoplan function. Burevestnik-24 may carry 3.5 tons at speed of over 200 km/h for a distance of up to 2000 km. When it was tested it operated at speeds of 170-200 km/h. And, yes, `Caspian Sea Monster' did a 500 Km/h .
+김동현 but KM was also a little over 500tonns. This thing is a LOT smaller, and lighter. Thus no need for such ammount propulsion, so i don't see how its superior by having less requirement for propulsion on a smaller body.
At first I thought that maybe the US would try something like this, but development would take several years and, lets face it, socialist countries just aren't very big on innovation.
Way overdramatic narrator understands crap all...about to take over commercial marine transport!!?...it's been around since the 60s...if it hasn't made it commercially by now, it's going to be a non event for a long time yet...drop like a stone! spare me

Very good! efficient and needed. Good for you.
Hope to see airfish-8 back someday. In Florida an ideal way to hit the islands for personal use
spf202020 A update version of Airfish-8 will come back in sea trials and market within next 2 months, as I have informed by Singaporean company.

Gort Sneeley probably more for short hops, like covering modest distances of 1-200km between islands, or taking dive/snorkel tours to offshore reefs

The people couldn't understadt the technology. KRplusrs are looking very stupid.
elnaco sexy it is dangerous because if the wing hits the water at all, it will rip it off

@@thugasaurusrex6004 Where is the evidence for such a statement
Dear producer Panagiotis Zagklis! I would like to understand what happened with Winship WSH - 500? what is going on known?? Boris
Can't keep a good idea down. The Soviets had huge jet powered prototypes that went 400 mph and could carry huge capacity.
Très bien j’aime beaucoup
this is the best looking of the smaller ekranoplans
As it was designed by a German.
White caps?
Crosswinds?
5 meters or 16.4 feet is how high it can go how many white caps are that high? Crosswinds the ocean is vast and relatively empty so getting pushed around is not devastating just a course correction to fix.
is this now dead in the water?
"Tonight at 5, a new South Korean 'wingship' tragically lost after a rogue wave of 4 meters hits it"
Nope they can hop right over such things.
They are doing the test in a calm sea but what happens in the ocean.
Nice tech but, this craft was bought, not invented...
Caption sum ting wong

Sarcasm dude, so obvious.
Thanks for the hint nontheless
Why is "wingship" written in English not Korean?
Vietnamese subtitled.
It will be very difficult to go overland.

at 1.17 his real name chaby, living in turkey.
Weis jemand was aus diesem Projekt geworden ist ?
Continue this project.
Isn't this just a type of ekranoplane
Can you tell me some types of ekranoplan?
Eddie Lam technically it's a type of ground effect vehicle
@@flightboat Search for "Caspian Sea Monster"
isn't this called a hydrofoil?
+TheGreatUtopiaCat Nope Hydrofoil uses a submerged wing to lift the hull out of the water but the wing (foil) stays in the water.
whitey22222 indeed, doesn't this have a part of it's wing in the water too?

Márton Léránt people know about it in the west :/
Easy computer assist stability control virtually eliminate pilot error
Don't sell to a ferry company run a ferry company and make the craft for yourself.
This is far from James Bond stuff this is the way manufacturers industry should be looking why aren't they?
"This is James Bond Stuff"... And the Russians invented it ;-)

You don;t know very well the history of ekranoplans. These vessels invented by Scandinavians on 1920!!! later on a German designer Dr. Alexander M. Lippisch (1950) has build in US a craft of this class.
Hmmmmm let’s see about that
@@user-xn4dd5cb2c This design has gone through many modifications. This one was the brainchild of a German engineer named Fischer.
Does 175 Km/h is "untouchably fast"? Russian "Orion-20" can do 220-250 Km/h cruise speed. "Orion-40" will have the same speed.
About another WIG "Burevestnik-24":

And, yes, `Caspian Sea Monster' did a 500 Km/h .
KM was powered by 8 turbofans and this thing has only 2 props.
also the engines do seem small for it.
+김동현
but KM was also a little over 500tonns. This thing is a LOT smaller, and lighter. Thus no need for such ammount propulsion, so i don't see how its superior by having less requirement for propulsion on a smaller body.
+No Name Orion-20 has crashed if you don't know it.
Impianku doeloe......
😒 I don't think it lift off.....!!!!
At first I thought that maybe the US would try something like this, but development would take several years and, lets face it, socialist countries just aren't very big on innovation.
Way overdramatic narrator understands crap all...about to take over commercial marine transport!!?...it's been around since the 60s...if it hasn't made it commercially by now, it's going to be a non event for a long time yet...drop like a stone! spare me
Commentators voice is annoying as hell!!
It's very slow, only 175km/h !
Compared to a boat?
"help in the fight against global warming" lol that's one of the dumbest things I've heard today.... pfft
bipola telly how lol it's much more efficient than jets :/
Crap
