this week. is it a boat or is it a plane? i m onboard the ferry that can fly. why has nobody made an electric hydrofoil flying ferry before? i think the main reason is that it s freaking hard. we re in india, where solar dryers are battling food waste. and an eye in the sky on energy use. nice outfit, by the way. thanks. i ve been taking the temperature with the world s thermometer to assess the climate impact of all our actions. stockholm, capital of sweden, and a city of islands, 1a of them to be precise, which makes water transport a big thing around these parts. so today i ve decided to take the ferry. but this is no ordinary ferry because this ferry. ..can fly. this is the candela p 12, the prototype of a ferry which should go into service injuly 202a. and at its cruising speed of 25 knots, narrow wings called hydrofoils, provide huge amounts of lift. in the same way that aircraft wings can get a plane off the ground, these wings can raise the whole hull above the surfac
