The Ferry That Flies to Work

In Stockholm, the morning commute now flies — just above the water. Nova, a Candela P-12, is the world's first electric hydrofoil ferry in regular public transport: foils lift its hull about a metre clear of the water, cutting drag by roughly 80%, halving the Route 89 trip from about 55 minutes to about 30, with carbon dioxide down about 94% against the diesel boats.

It refuses to drag the hull — the water is still there, the distance is still there, but the part that cost all the energy is simply not being carried anymore.
