Wow. Never realized China had gone that far in developing WIG-type craft. Very interesting designs, too!

From L+K 10/1990,

I can't ID this WIG aircraft ?.

There's only mentioned that it's Singaporean and named Seahawk.

Attempts to determine the origin of this 'Wing in Ground' effect model were not immediately forthcoming but it was thought to have been a project for students at the Faculty of Engineering, National University of Singapore.

In fact, this WIG (Wing in Ground) was designed in San Diego CA but built in Singapore by Aeromarine-Craft Singapore, headed up by George Wuu. Power intended to be special V-8 engines made by Keith Black Racing Engines driving 3-bladed Propellers. To arrive at the show WIG was floated across the Johor Strait to Changi and lowered into space by a crane. Nothing seems to have developed with this particular project.

Hi,

China Is Building a Sea-Skimming Anti-Ship Drone

A new Chinese anti-ship drone could be in the pipeline, with technologies derived from developments in cruise missiles and ground-effect vehicles. According to IHS Jane, an image of a brochure mark…

China may be developing a missile, that uses WIG principles, but this CGI/model photo quite certainly doesn‘t show it, but a much larger, four-engined (prop-fans ?) manned WIG vehicle.

Yes, the image is from another project, nothing to do with the chinese one. It's a russian concept for a ground-effect vehicle able to operate from regular airports.
