Wing-In-Ground-Effect Craft · Sabah, Malaysia
Fly the surface
of the sea.
SkimCraft designs and builds wing-in-ground-effect craft that cruise just above the water — the speed of flight with the freedom of the sea, for Asia’s islands and coastlines.
01 — The technology
Not a boat. Not a plane. Built for the space between.
Flying close to the water traps a cushion of air beneath the wing. That cushion boosts lift and cuts drag, letting a WIG craft lift its hull clear of the waves and cruise efficiently just above the surface — no runway, no airport, no wake.
- ATakes off and lands on water
- BCruises low, within the ground-effect zone
- CRegulated as a maritime craft under IMO WIG guidelines
