but this is no ordinary ferry. because this very can fly. very. ferry! this is the candle appear 12, the prototype of a ferry which would go into service injuly 2024 and its cruising speed of 25 knots and wings called hydrofoils provide huge amounts of lived in the same way that aircraft wings can get a plane off the ground, these wings can raise the whole hull above the surface. i started to notice more and more boats and even windsurfing and kite surfing having these foils underneath the board so the entire thing can lift out of the water. because hardly any of the boat is having to push through the water, it does not need as powerful a motorcar. that means there is something else that is very special about this craft. it is electric. these small propellers are all that i needed to get the ferry up to speed and is on board batteries give it a range of 50 nautical miles, all of which promises to make waterborne transport a whole lot cleaner and a whole lot greener. who
