WigetWorksSea bird flying in ground effect
We would like to share with you Video clips and images of our works and our products. A major refurbishment effort was made by the newly established Singapore engineering team to re-instate the AF8-001 to the state of flight worthiness. The AF8-001 was happy airborne again in the beautiful tropical sea in a series of on-going sea trials and engineering test flights conducted since early February 2007.

All videos are best view in 1 x 1 inch video frame size.
