This is an electric ‘flying water taxi’

It takes passengers across Lake Annecy in France for €9. The 5-seater is suspended above the water on hydrofoils. They lift the boat out of the water for faster speeds, a smoother ride and a better view from the windows. The service is running 8 times a day.
