New flying hydrogen boat celebrates UAE’s pearl legacy – The National

A flying boat powered by hydrogen that celebrates the UAE's pearl legacy was unveiled at the Dubai International Boat Show on Thursday.

The boat, called X-Pearl, has been designed to transport up to eight passengers "at the crossroads of the comfort of a luxury car, the convenience of a fast boat, and the stability of a plane", according to French company SeaBubbles, which designed and built it.

SeaBubbles has signed an agreement with the UAE's Al Masaood Group for the development of hydrogen projects in the country.
