Meanwhile, the curious-looking AirFish Wing-in-Ground (WiG) craft, which can fly just above the water at 90 knots, is designed to be a faster and smoother alternative to ferries. And, of course, there is the NextGen Singapore Assault Rifle, positioned as a potential replacement for the SAR21, the standard issue firearm of the country’s military for over two decades.
For years, the Singapore Airshow, despite its name, has been the ideal setting for Singapore Technologies Engineering (SGX:S63
) (ST Engineering) to show off its new range of products beyond the aerospace industry.
At the most recent edition of the airshow held between Feb 20 and Feb 25, the The Terrex s5, the latest variant of the 8x8 armoured carrier, featuring advanced electronics and a hybrid engine option (for creeping up on unsuspecting foes), took centre stage within the 2,000 sqm space occupied by the company.
