Alexander Lippisch's designs are alive and well!

ST's AirFish catches launch customer
Singaporean aerospace, defence and technology group, ST Engineering announced that its joint venture company, ST Engineering AirX, had signed a LOI with Eurasia Mobility Solutions for an order of up to ten AirFish Wing-in-Ground (WIG) craft with options for ten more. While the two-seat AirFish 3 was on display at the airshow [photo below], this order relates to the larger, ten-seat 8 variant. Under the agreement, Eurasia Mobility Solutions will receive its first WIGs from 2025 and plans to use them to serve Türkiye’s tourism and private transportation sectors.
