WTF. It’s not the first by any means. The USSR had an insanely massive one that was so fucking cool looking and pointless. There were others.
Yeah I know of at least one company in the US
alreadyplanning on doing this with passenger service.The headline is bogus clickbait.
Would love to see one here in Seattle. Something from SEA to VIC or Vancouver would be amazing.
Yeah but you can’t make Sino Number #1 propaganda if you include the others.

If I remember right the USSR had all kinds of strange for the time vessels designed and built for use in the Caspian and Sea of Asov.
How is this a first in any way? Ground effect vehicles have been a thing for decades.
Perhaps they mean commercially produces ones. To my knowledge these have never gone past experimental prototype stages.
Russia had a maritime ground effect vehicle that was used as a ferry… decades ago.
This seems like the constant Android vs iPhone feature claims of
brand new never before seen! Except on your competitors flagships half a decade ago
Ah didn’t know about those, I only knew of electroplans.
“I made this.”
true, but only as prototypes that never went into mass production
This one here in this post is only a prototype. The ekranoplans where actually used.
That looks something Scrooge McDuck would fly on late 80’s to early 2000’s comics.
Not pictured: subwoofer, shogun wing, underglow
Completely different from all the other ground effect vehicles that have been flown over water in the many decades before, which were nothing like that at all.
