Is it a bird? Is it a plane? 👀🛥

No… it’s the world's first eco-friendly 'flying' boat.

The vessel has special hydrofoil wings - which are wing-like blades - attached to the bottom of the boat.

Similar to a plane taking off on a runway, these underwater wings drive the boat up and out of the water as it picks up speed, making it look as if it's flying!

The boat, which launched in Belfast, Northern Ireland, uses the same hi-tech blade technology that's used by professional racing yachts in racing competitions like the America's Cup.
