Analysts say it marks the largest leap in wing-in-ground effect (WIG) aircraft design since the Cold War, when the Soviet ...

China is already producing the AVIC AG600 Kunlong, the world’s largest amphibious aircraft, designed primarily for civilian roles such as firefighting and search and rescue, while the Bohai Sea ...

Ein Bild aus China zeigt offenbar ein neues Fluggerät, das nur knapp über dem Wasser fliegt. Es erinnert an sowjetische ...

Dabei handelt es sich ein sogenanntes Bodeneffektfahrzeug, auch Ekranoplan. Dieses fliegt in sehr geringer Höhe über Wasser und nutzt dabei den sogenannten Bodeneffekt , um besonders effizient ...

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.

Der militärische Einsatz von Bodeneffektfahrzeugen (russisch: Ekranoplan) wurde bereits in den 1960er-Jahren geprüft. Die Sowjetunion konstruierte mit dem ...

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 ...

The Cold War era A-90 Orlyonok Ekranoplan used ground effect to skim a few feet above water, carrying troops and cargo. The Cold War inspired all kinds of unusual and one-off technologies, ...

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.
