Gamma2 high speed surface-effect craft  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
This surface craft is being built both as a technology demonstrator and as the first of our planned production units. The Gamma2 type uses an air cushion plus the dynamic effects of speed; it may be operated on inland waters, rivers and estuaries, and slight seas. By lifting the craft mostly clear of the water, high speed is possible, in this case about 70 knots (130 km/hr) with two occupants. Sport and commuter usage is envisaged. Costing about the same as a mid-range SUV, the Gamma2 will enable owners to travel rapidly between ports and islands within water based communities (where speed limits permit). The craft may be trailered. Specifications (applicable to prototype #01)
