ST Engineering AirX Pte Ltd represents the newly established entity born from the joint venture.

AirX holds the exclusive ownership of all patents, intellectual property rights, and the specialized know-how required for the design and production of the Airfish family of WIG craft. All the licenses for Airfish technology were acquired from Airfoil Development GmbH (AFD), marking a significant milestone in our pursuit for innovation. 

During this transformative period, Wigetworks enriched its portfolio with the acquisition of two notable prototypes: the Airfish 8, an eight-seater WIG craft, and the Airfish 3, a two-seater craft. Both models were developed based on the revolutionary reverse delta wing design by the esteemed Dr. Alexander Martin Lippisch. 

The Airfish 8 prototype, designated as AF8-001, was constructed in Germany in the late 1990s. It underwent comprehensive sea trials in the Netherlands and Australia in 2001, demonstrating its exceptional capabilities and pioneering design.

In 2004, the AF8-001 prototype was taken over by Wigetworks. Following extensive refurbishment, it embarked on a series of successful sea trials in Thailand in 2007 and Singapore in 2008. These trials underscored the prototype's superior performance and reliability. Following which, Lloyd’s Register granted AF8-001 entry into class in 2010.

ST Engineering AirX is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of maritime technology, utilizing the Airfish WIG craft to redefine the possibilities of coastal transportation and logistics. Through our continued innovation and dedication, we aim to lead the industry towards a more efficient, sustainable, and technologically advanced future.
