The “Flying Ship Company” has developed an innovative flying drone ship capable of transporting cargo at speeds up to 10 times faster than traditional boats, using a futuristic design with dynamic wings and lift motors.

Powered by batteries, the latest model can carry up to 22 kg of cargo, has a wingspan of 3 meters, and a range of 80 km. The technology significantly reduces maritime transport costs, making it a more economical and efficient alternative compared to airplanes.

The drone operates close to the surface, utilizing the ground effect to create an air cushion that increases lift and speed. With a focus on logistics, it offers unlimited coastal delivery, ideal for inter-island trade.

The company has already completed 70 flights with previous models and presented its latest innovation at CES 2025, revealing plans for future launches, including larger models with load capacities ranging from 22 kg to 2,700 kg and ranges of up to 3,700 km.

Equipped with advanced sensors and high-capacity batteries, the drone represents a revolutionary solution for maritime transport. The company plans to launch more models throughout 2025 and 2026, including the 3000 series and its largest project, the 2020 model, which promises to further expand the range and cargo capacity.
