The RFB X-113 Aerofoil Boat was an experimental ground effect vehicle intended to work over water. It was one of three such aircraft designed by Alexander Lippisch in the 1960s and early 1970s. The X-113 first flew in 1970; only one was built. The first flight was made in October 1970 on Lake Constance. Flight tests continued at least until 1974 and possibly later.
