A scooter company just built a flying boat inspired by a Cold War monster, and somehow that's not the craziest part.

Ground effect is a aerodynamic phenomenon where induced drag is significantly reduced when an aircraft flies very close to a flat surface, leading to improved performance such as requiring less thrust ...

SINGAPORE—ST Engineering is gearing up to begin testing its AirFish wing-in-ground technology vehicle with the goal of starting service before yearend. “We are making good progress on certifying this ...

REGENT Defense revives the ekranoplan with fast sea-skimming seagliders built for military logistics and coastal missions.

Ground effect vehicles exploit the increase in lift and reduction in drag experienced when flying close to a surface. By trapping a cushion of high-pressure air beneath their wings or lifting surfaces ...

Ground effect is an aerodynamic phenomenon that occurs when an aircraft operates close to a surface, resulting in increased lift and reduced induced drag. Instead of fighting ground effect, pilots ...
