TECHNOLOGY
Unique technology
Oceanair revolutionizes travel by water.
Having no competition, these flying boats are based on one of the world’s most advanced maritime concepts whose exclusive US Patent holder is David L. Borman.
​
Many years and over several million US dollars were expended to design, build, and vet the original Oceanair prototype. And prepare for manufacture of operational fleet vessels.
Speed of up to 100mph
​
Unique patented wing-in-ground effect technology allows travel above the ocean’s waves at cruise speed up to 100mph.
​
With substantial fuel and operational costs savings.
New approach
Ocean Aeronautics brings a new approach to the table.
​
Rather than build an aircraft, that stays down over the water, our design makes a boat fly.
