A Wing In Ground-effect vehicle (WIG): future transportation especially for a short distance on sea. Do we need to explain to get budget from government and after we proof it working OR we are behind all the time.

A Wing In Ground-effect vehicle (WIG), is a vehicle that cruises little more than a few feet over flat surfaces, most often water. It can be seen as a transition between a hovercraft and an aircraft. As it flies just above a surface, it is also classified as WISE or WISES (Wing In Surface Effect Ship). WIGs are also classified as Ground Effect Vehicles, or Sea Skimmers. The IMO has classifed the WIGs as ship, with effect of (GEV).  In conventional aircraft, "flare" is the rotation of the aircraft's nose up, used at the final part of landing to arrest the descent rate before touch down. In WIG vehicles, this is the basic attitude to sustain level flight.
 
How birds can give ideas to scientists to design a future transportation. How they glide above the surface of the ocean; shape and material of wings, feathers, structures, arrangement and skeleton of the birds guide engineers and scientists design future transport.
 From birds to hoovercraft then big carieer. good for short distance on sea surface. Better, safer, cleaner and faster than ship. 
All these crazy ideas lets the professors and the students do. BUT we spent more time filling forms, meeting and listening to motivation talk instead of working or doing thind and thinking. Professors are paid to think, proactive, creative, teaching and transfer knowledge to their students. The professors have their own KPI teaching, supervise studens, research, publication, consultation, community services. So do not disturb them. provide facilities for them to report their annual achievement OR every three months.
