MALACCA: The state will manufacture the multi-purpose Wing-In-Ground (WIG) aircraft that can cruise little more than a few feet over flat surfaces, most often over water by 2017.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Idris Haron said the manufacture of the aircraft, using South Korean technology, would lure more investors to the state.
