The Jet to be Manufactured in Dubai

The Jet is a new form of hydrogen powered transportation.  The "flying boat" is powered by two hydrogen fuel cells that convert hydrogen into electricity and produce no emissions.  The vessel is a hydrofoil that glides three feet above the water at a top speed of 46 mph.  It can carry 12 passengers and a captain. It makes its water journey in silence and in harmony with the environment.  It is the innovative creation of Switzerland-based startup The Jet ZeroEmission, which will manufacture the hydrofoil in Dubai.

New International Innovation Collaboration

The hydrogen powered flying boat uses hydrofoils underneath the vessel to give it lift. It is a distinctively designed, slender white vessel.  It spans 32 feet and weighs 6 tons.  The Jet ZeroEmission company was founded by French yachtsman Alain Thebault.  The company has signed an agreement with the United Arab Emirates' Zenith Marine Services to manufacture the breakthrough vehicle in Dubai.  Dubai has been on a mission to attract global innovation companies.  

New Travel & New Mission

The Jet will be manufactured in Dubai starting in 2023.  The company is staking out high-end travel routes for the hydrofoil. They say it will service hotels and "exclusive individuals" in some of the world's most glamorous and naturally beautiful places. It will travel on seashores, rivers and lakes.  The Jet has all of the makings of a one-of-a-kind journey.
