Imagine traveling from Kolkata to Chennai in just 3 hours, at an affordable price of ₹600! Waterfly Technologies, a startup backed by IIT Madras, is making this a reality with its innovative electric sea gliders powered by Wing-in-Ground (WIG) crafts.
Revolutionary Transportation: Waterfly Technologies to Launch Electric Sea Gliders
What are WIG Crafts?
WIG crafts are vehicles that use the ground effect to generate lift and reduce drag, allowing them to fly at high speeds while staying close to the surface. Waterfly Technologies has adapted this technology to create electric sea gliders that can travel at speeds of up to 200 km/h.
Quote from Waterfly Technologies:
“Our electric sea gliders are designed to revolutionize transportation in India. With the support of IIT Madras, we’re confident that our technology will make a significant impact on the environment and the economy.” – Waterfly Technologies
Key Benefits:
– Environmentally friendly: Electric sea gliders produce zero emissions, making them an eco-friendly alternative to traditional modes of transportation.
– Cost-effective: With a projected ticket price of ₹600, Waterfly Technologies aims to make high-speed transportation accessible to the masses.
– Time-saving: Traveling from Kolkata to Chennai in just 3 hours will save passengers a significant amount of time, making it an attractive option for business travelers and tourists alike.
What’s Next?
Waterfly Technologies is currently in the testing phase and plans to launch its electric sea gliders in the near future. With the potential to transform the transportation landscape in India, Waterfly Technologies is definitely a startup to watch.
