In 2023, Dubai wants to host the climate conference with a flying boat that appears to fly over the water at a height of one meter at 65 km/h. Before the start it is still like a boat in the water. If it picks up speed, it should glide on two wings called hydrofoils. It is powered by two electric motors that draw their power from two hydrogen-powered fuel cells. “The Jet”, as the boat is called, is being built by a Swiss start-up led by French sailor Alain Thébault. It is said to have room for twelve passengers and the helmsman/pilot. The interior should be air-conditioned, which is not unimportant in Dubai. (kens.)
