A Japanese concept of ekranoplan or WIG ship. It is a canard wing concept of wing in surface effect ship (WISES). The video shows a figure eight flight of radio controlled model.

The size of the model is 7.2m in length. Usually remote operation of a flying model is usually not easy. However, our ship shows smooth take off, circular flight and alighting on water. The future application will be 400km/h speed marine transportation.
