About wing-in-ground effect vehicle DDL-1

wing-in-ground-effect craft
The DDL-1 wing-in-ground effect vehicle (according to the international IMO classification) belongs to Type A and allows significant cost reductions, while increasing the level of comfort and attractiveness of regional marine transportation between coastal cities, resorts, and islands, including remote archipelagos.
Our DDL-1 transport system has three modes of movement:
  1. Displacement mode (when maneuvering in confined waters)
  2. Gliding (transitional mode before takeoff)
  3. Flight over the surface of the sea (using wing-in-ground effect)
A wing-in-ground effect is based on a dynamic air cushion created by an incoming air stream and allows the vehicle to:
  • Fly above the sea surface at a high speed (over 150 km/h) with minimal energy consumption.
  • Service routes up to 1000 kilometers is more cost-effective than hydroplanes and high-speed boats.
  • Create comfortable conditions for passengers by means of a unique design.
  • Ensure high safety. In the event of an engine failure, the vehicle smoothly lands on water, and the presence of floats provides good stability on the water.
The DDL-1 wing-in-ground effect vehicle surpasses its foreign (Airfish 8, ARON) and Russian counterparts (Ivolga, Orion, Aquaglide-5, Volga-2) in terms of its technical characteristics.
