I thought pigs had a better chance of flying than boats did, but thanks to Doi Malingri’s invention of the Flying Inflatable Boat pigs are gonna be the last of the two to become airborne. I don’t know when the idea came about in his mind, maybe all those times rounding the horn through mountains of swell on a sailboat he wished was flying. For whatever reason I’m glad it’s here because as a water lover you’ll never find a better way to escape. Polaris Motor first manufactured the FIB in 1987 and their idea was to make a seaworthy boat that could land and take off where the smaller conventional float plane types could not. So the plan was not to make a plane float, but to make a boat fly.
With it’s extremely successful safety record, versatility in conditions, wide range of uses, and years of experience the FIB is the best selling ultralight of its kind with over 1200 flying worldwide. There used for special missions by the Navy Seals of Singapore, The Discovery Channel, GreenPeace, Toyota, The Cuban Government and even for research by universities. So don’t limit yourself to only flat water or worse expose yourself to the dangers of landing a pontoon system in rougher waters, fly the FIB!
