Compared to a boat?

I don't see why people say its dangerous. The hydrofoils and catamarans are very fast on water and obstacles can be hit with a fast boat as well. Is not like they are driving this on the streets, the sea has no buildings and you rarely see boats once you are away from the coast. Visibility is good plus it has radars, gps all sorts of technology. it is as safe as a catamaran and probably a with a more stable ride. If it hits a wave, this things still have catamaran and hovercraft technology. Just like speed boats ,the weather conditions will limits its use days.

It looks great! I hope it goes into service very soon. But...when you can fly commercial for $200 for a return trip of 500 miles, is this actually viable as a competitor to commercial passenger jets?

+TheGreatUtopiaCat No its called ekroplan, and since it was a fruit of the soviet union, outside of military circles, noone knows about this old technology in the west. Once it was the worst dream for coastal defences, as it flies in the height not cowered by air defense radars, nor by radars focused on ships, has a great cargo capacity, and can travel well over 200 km/h... and no one wanted the soviet tank armada to appear in surprise somewhere in the US west coast.

Does 175 Km/h is "untouchably fast"? Russian "Orion-20" can do 220-250 Km/h cruise speed. "Orion-40" will have the same speed. About another WIG "Burevestnik-24": The ekranoplan has three travelling modes: at speed of 30 km/h it floats like an ordinary motor boat, at 120 km/h it starts planing on the water surface, at 240 km/h it raises above the water and activates its ekranoplan function. Burevestnik-24 may carry 3.5 tons at speed of over 200 km/h for a distance of up to 2000 km. When it was tested it operated at speeds of 170-200 km/h. And, yes, `Caspian Sea Monster' did a 500 Km/h .
