Surface-effect vehicle FUTURE!
There are some ideas concerning new areas of applying surface-effect vehicles. For example, there is the idea to create a new class of motor vehicles on the principles of surface-effect vehicle - surface-effect bike, or surface-bike. Modern design and up-to-the-minute technology can make the new product popular with motorextreme-lovers, and also take its own niche among motorcycles, jet ski and quads etc.
see the picture.
Surface-effect vehicle NEW!
June 3rd 2007, the first successful flight of my new model - aerodynamic ground-effect craft - took place, at the airdrome of the town of Vladimir. The fuselage of this craft is a lifting body. It provides lift in unison with the wings. The model flew successfully both in surface-effect mode and in free air mode (altitude of tens of meters). The craft demonstrated excellent stability and sensitivity in both modes, refuting the opinion that surface-effect vehicles can't fly well out of ground effect.
