TESTER’S NOTES
It’s a bird… It’s a plane…
It’s ekranoplan
I know it says ‘car’ on the cover of this magazine, not bike, skateboard or freestyle armchair, and certainly not ekranoplan. But I hope that you will forgive the diversity.
Pictured above is a ‘flying ferry’ –a description that is, I suppose, correct and, unlike ‘flying car’, one that I’m prepared to accept (on grounds of general excitement, anyway).
Brittany Ferries is looking into a ground-effect concept that could have this battery-electric Seaglider (a very slick name) carrying 50-150 people across the Channel by 2028.
