## Notes

- AirFish 8 is the eight-passenger Type A WIG craft developed from Hanno Fischer's design and now built by Singapore's Wigetworks.
- The file is a 17.2 × 15 × 3.5 m box from Ship Technology's spec list; other tables give 17.22 × 15.16 × 3.35 m.
- Wigetworks' own spec page could not be read, so the entry is marked secondary.
- True size, no printing tolerance added. Only published numbers are used; anything not published is said so.
- Secondary source: the numbers come from a retailer or magazine copy of the maker's specification.
