This paper discusses the main particularities of WIG (ecranoplane) as fast sea transport and its place among water surface and air transport. Its main advantages are mentioned. Data about the types of taking-off-landing arrangements (TLA) are presented and main particularities of their designs are shown. Attention is then given to the passenger ecranoplanes. Preliminary comparison of possible transport efficiency of passenger ecranoplanes with other types of transport is presented. The authors' activities with sport ecranoplanes are discussed.
