Aurora Flight Sciences has released a new video of its revolutionary wing-in-ground-effect Liberty Lifter concept aircraft that it's developing for DARPA. The aircraft uses ground effect to lift heavy ...

The remarkable Seaglider promises a clean revolution in coastal transport; the convenience of an electric boat meets the speed and comfort of an aircraft, at unparalleled efficiency and range thanks ...

Peter Wright worked in F1 from the 1960's to the 1990's, in doing so he helped develop the ground effect era whilst at Lotus under the leadership of pioneer Colin Chapman. The British engineer now ...

The Federal Aviation Administration’s new funding law requires the agency to collaborate with the US Coast Guard (USCG) to define regulatory oversight of wing-in-ground-effect (WIGs) vehicles, a move ...

China appears to have built a new prototype of a mostly ignored military aircraft; a Wing-in-Ground Effect (WIG) plane. Also commonly known by the Russian word ekranoplan, it's a type of aircraft ...

The ground-effect (GE) refers to the almost mystical property where the interaction of the airflow around an aircraft’s wing and the ground massively increases efficiency due to the reduction of ...

Aerodynamics in ground effect vehicles has become a focal point for contemporary research due to its substantial potential to enhance lift, reduce drag and improve overall vehicle performance. This ...

A new ekranoplan, or ground-effect vehicle, design emerging from China was first noted earlier this week. Now a new image offers our first look at the whole airframe. An ekranoplan, derived from the ...
