TECHNICAL VALIDATIONS

Today, the fruitful teachings allow the conception of truly efficient hybrid machines with which you are free to cross safely on a variety of surfaces.

BOAT

Using boat mode (jet boat), the air cushion stay protected under the hull.

HOVERCRAFT

The concept proposes the use of the hovercraft mode only when necessary.

MODE SWITCHING TO AMPHIBIOUS

The mode transition stay secured all along the process.

OTHERS

Ground Vehicle

Air Boat - Wheel mode (side view)

The ground vehicle option is considered for any ashore maneuvers in harbor or urban zone. This could greatly ease the boarding and landing phases for passengers.

Heavy duty Catamaran

Designs for the future bigger version for big payloads (catamaran)

The catamaran version with  a greater payload capacity will have the same abilities with the two modes “boat”, “hovercraft” and the wheel option.
