Hoverwing-2VT

In order to proof the Hoverwing concept, a scaled down version of the targeted Hoverwing–80 in scale 3,35 was designed and built together with the Versuchsanstalt für Binnenschiffbau e.V. at Duisburg (Duisurg Towing Tank).

This scaled down craft is a 2 seated test bed, which first flew 1997, and since then covered app. 5000 km distance during several test series. During these testflights in Holland and in the Baltic Sea, the craft had demonstrated that all required performances and characteristics are fulfilled in accorderance with the predictions.

The last tests have been done in march 2001 on Lake Baldeney and gave further valuable results for the design of the next size Hoverwing.
