"Kiwis may be able to travel direct between the centres of many New Zealand coastal cities on low-flying electric ÔÇ£seaglidersÔÇØ for less than the cost of a return taxi to the airport within a few years.
Seagliders are a name being given to a new form of passenger transport vehicle that might best be described a cross between a hydrofoil and a battery-powered seaplane.
They are being designed to carry up to 100 passengers at speeds of up to 540 kilometres-an-hour, flying just 10 metres above the sea to take advantage of a phenomenon known as ÔÇ£in ground effectÔÇØ which reduces drag and increases their range."
