Seagliders combine the convenience of passenger ferries with the comfort of hydrofoils, the aerodynamic efficiency of hovercraft and the speed of aircraft.
With the potential to connect existing ferry ports, the craft are expected to fly at speeds of up to 180 mph with a battery-powered range of 180 miles.
The voyage from Portsmouth to Cherbourg, for example, could be covered in as little as 40 minutes.

This is the UK’s best dad joke
The world’s best dad joke has been revealed after more than 2,700 gags were submitted in Aldi’s annual competition.
In celebration of Father’s Day, the supermarket invited people to submit their funniest dad jokes, with standup comedian Mark Watson enlisted to judge the best entry.
After reviewing all of the submissions, Watson chose an entry submitted by a father-of-two named Austin May, as the winner.
Mr May’s joke went as follows: “I once hired a limo but when it arrived, the guy driving it walked off!
“I said ‘Excuse me? Are you not going to drive me?’
“The guy told me that the price didn’t include a driver…… so I’d spent £400 on a limo and have nothing to chauffeur it!”
Government minister 'hopes' cannibalism at sea no longer needed
Modern day technologies should prevent stranded sailors from resorting to cannibalism, a government minister hopes.
The conversation in the upper chamber arose after another member raised the odd legal precedent set in the late 19th century.
It harkens back to 1884, when captain Tom Dudley and mate Edwin Stephens were stranded at sea in a lifeboat following a shipwreck in the South Atlantic, off the coast of Africa.
Cabin boy Richard Parker was with the pair, and in poor health according to the sailors.
Following several weeks trapped on the insignificant and unprovisioned vessel, with their colleague close to death, Dudley and Stephens took the step to kill and eat him in order to fend off starvation.
After being rescued and returned to the UK, the pair justified their actions as a "custom of the sea", and hoped to avoid conviction.
However, this was rejected and both men were subsequently convicted of murder and sentenced to death - although this was later commuted to a six month prison sentence by the Crown.
The case set the precedent in common law that necessity is not a defence when charged with murder.
