Chinese company Navee completes the maiden flight of a consumer-focused craft that glides above the water on a cushion of air ...

Regent craft has a working 12 passenger version and has sales for a 100 passenger seaplane that would be about three times more fuel efficient than other planes. They do not need as much weight as ...

Ground effect is a natural aerodynamic phenomenon where an aircraft experiences increased lift and reduced induced drag when operating close to a surface. Many pilots inadvertently mishandle ground ...

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 ...

Ground effect vehicles exploit the increase in lift and reduction in drag experienced when flying close to a surface. By trapping a cushion of high-pressure air beneath their wings or lifting surfaces ...

SINGAPORE—ST Engineering is gearing up to begin testing its AirFish wing-in-ground technology vehicle with the goal of starting service before yearend. “We are making good progress on certifying this ...

ST Engineering’s AirX joint venture expects its 10-passenger AirFish Voyager wing-in-ground-effect (WIG) craft will enter service later this year with Singapore ferry operator BatamFast. BatamFast was ...

Chinese ambitions in the South and East China seas, as well as Taiwan, make development of craft like this ekranoplan and the AG600 flying boat an absolute necessity. The first photos of China’s ...

Learn how Formula 1 engineers reinvented the wing to generate massive downforce and adapt to the new 2026 aerodynamic regulations.

James is a multiple Guinness World Records title holder, specialising in large RC builds.

Ground effect reduces an aircraft's induced drag when flying close to a flat surface, leading to improved performance such as requiring less thrust for the same lift or enabling slower flight. Pilots ...
