Miami startup Sea Cheetah is developing hydrogen-powered wing-in-ground effect (WiGE) aircraft aimed at revolutionizing zero-emission coastal transport. These low-flying vessels, which operate just above the water’s surface, could travel much further and faster than electric boats without requiring FAA certification. By partnering with H3 Dynamics, Sea Cheetah plans to create a hydrogen generation and fueling network, enhancing range and quick refueling capabilities. The WiGE technology offers significant efficiency advantages, potentially allowing these aircraft to cover 2.3 times the distance of traditional aircraft on the same energy source. While specific details are still under wraps, the concept involves high-surface-area wings and large pontoons for hydrogen storage, promising a range extension that could make these vessels competitive against traditional air travel. Sea Cheetah's innovative approach could lead to a new era in sustainable transport. #Hydrogen #SeaCheetah #GroundEffect #Aviation #SustainableTransport #ZeroEmissions #Innovation #Aerospace #MarineVessels #WiGE
