Ekranoplan Showcase


I can't get enough of ekranoplans. An ekranoplan is a vehicle resembling an aircraft but which operates solely on the principle of ground effect.

Ground effect vehicles fly above any flat surface, with the height above ground dependent upon the size of the vehicle. Ekranoplan design was conceived by revolutionary Soviet engineer Rostislav Alexeev.
