Our aim

The cheapest and fastest way to move across the world.

Starting with containers

Containers across the world

We are starting with electric sea-skimming aircraft that carry containers across the world.

Technology · 01

The cushion

Near the water, a wing rides on a cushion of its own air. Less drag, more lift, and no runway.

Technology · 02

The electric powertrain

Battery packs in the blended body and wing drive a row of electric propellers. Fewer moving parts. Nothing burned.

Technology · 03

The ocean charging hub

Off-grid hubs along the sea lanes. Sun and wind in, charge out. No new ports required.

The idea

As fast as a plane.
As cheap as a ship.

Air freight~50¢per tonne-km · ~850 km/h
Waterfly<10¢per tonne-km · aircraft speed
Container ship~1¢per tonne-km · ~40 km/h

The network

Port to port.
No runways.

From existing jetties, across open water, with charging hubs along the way.

Routes are illustrative.

How we build

Ten times bigger.
Every six months.

3 kg2025 · Take-off from water
30 kg2025 · Stable flight and landing
300 kg2026 · Flight in ground effect
