GEVs like the ekranoplan do not only utilize this ground effect for take-off and landing, however. Rather, they utilize it to “float” across wide open spaces—usually an ocean or a sea.

The concept behind Liberty Lifter reminds the famous Ekranoplan, used by the Soviet and Russian navies in the 80s and 90s, also known a wing-in-ground effect vehicles.

The Soviet A-90 Orlyonok Ekranoplan is a plane with features that inspire double-takes: short, stubby wings, and a tail with a turboprop in the middle. But what you'd notice more than anything is ...

In the 1960s, Soviet engineers built a mashup of a plane and a boat that could fly a few feet above an ocean or lake at high speeds. The vehicle, which they called the ekranoplan, or screenplane ...

In the late 1960s, US spy satellites captured images of a massive Soviet ekranoplan, and analysts dubbed it the "Caspian Sea Monster." That was the experimental "Korabl Maket," or KM.
