Am I the only person who got goosebumps of excitement when the great music kicked in and the silver version of the ekranoplan hovered over the rainy lake
9:34 That's actually what the real KM class did. The eight engines on the front angled their thrust down under the wings for additional lift. Once airborne, all eight of those engines were shut off and two engines in the rear provided all of the in-flight thrust.
This is one of the coolest projects I’ve seen in a while, this looked so cool especially when you got it to fly just right. How much flight time did you get out of it?
daniel Stark about 8 minutes or so! It would be longer if I just settled in to ground effect and cruise the whole time! It was flying on a 5000mah 5S lipo
PeterSripol To think a 25000mah battery could give you like 30 minutes of flight is insane. I live in the middle of nowhere but that’s enough battery to fly to the closest town
This is my favorite video of yours, hands down. When you first got it going from the boat I smiled a mile wide. I also liked seeing you dealing with the same issues that faced the real one, like having too much thrust once in ground effect, not being able to steer it tightly, needing smooth calm water. It all added to the authenticity of the project and I loved it. :)
Fun fact: the Ekranoplan is one of the few inventions that you can just scale up/down and it will still work (like the maxim machine gun, can be scaled up into an anti aircraft gun and scaled down into a submachine gun)
And indeed, these vessels seem to work better, the bigger they are. The retained air cushion grows taller as vehicle size increases, granting more resilience to wave height, efficiency gets better, maximum ground-effect speed rises, and the payload mass goes up enormously. TBH, the real problem with ekranoplan may be that we just haven't built one big enough... Nuclear-electric propelled thousand-plus ton craft going 500 km/h anyone?
@@autochton iirc the main issue was the fact that large waves destabilized it, so yea at sufficient scale it might have worked. imagine a modern cargo ship sized ekranoplan
You forgot one thing, the front engines are only to get the plane into the ground effect, after that the 2 small motors on the tail fin are enough to keep it in the air. It still looks really cool though!
Workbench - Home DIY Engineering GET A ROLL! Not even kidding best stuff ever! It’s called Plumbers Tape and I actually use it make a bunch of stuff chrome! Makes firearms look cool and futuristic as well if you do it right!
I love how it can do that It flies over sonar, torpedoes, and minefields but flies inside the shadow zone of radar formed by the curvature of the Earth amazing
@@kurumi394 It doesn't really fly over sonar. The air cushion still supports the plane's weight against water and it transfers the noise of the jet engines into water. It might not be a solid submerged object that would get detected by an active sonar ping, but the real thing is hella noisy, declaring its presence to everyone listening on passive sonar in a wide area.
I actually researched this a long time ago and most of the parts were available, but they were rediculous expensive and the jets themselves were not available. Needed to be custom machined. I imagine it would be easier today with so much custom CNC work available. Some at the personal experimental ultralight flight scale used chemical peroxide rockets! Largest ever made was the Fairey Rotodyne with a main rotor diameter of 90ft. You are a fan though so you probably about knew that hehe
Bro you should've added two motors in the back. When you have the lift turn off the motors in the front as you already have the lift, you just need the thrust now . I'm not criticizing your design. I really like it. I'm just giving an extra idea😅😅 Really loved the experience you had when you flew it
The KM did shut off the front 8 jet engines when in ground effect though. Just the 2 mounted on the vertical stabilizer are enough to propel it forward.
hi Peter how about making canard ground affect plane see if it will fly ground affect on large ground swell out in the ocean let's reduce power or no power at all after it is got airborne having the small wing on the front should regulate the height of the craft flying over the waves or down the side of large waves regulate its height more easily in theory you should be able to Fly in ground affect down the front side of large waves like a surfer does but across the ocean for thousands of miles
it would be interesting to see how it "flies" with a flight controller in alt hold. it would let you control only the throttle while the controller manages the pitch and roll.
Let me just say, the scenery in which it officially "flew" in the lake is not just appropriate but also perfect. Congratulations Peter, amazing project.
@@ryanm.191 In a real ekranoplan, the engines at the front were only used to get the massive, unwieldy body off the ground/water. Once they were off the ground and under the spell of the ground effect, the engines at the front turned off and the main cruising engines in the back turned on.
Here is a small home made version. th-cam.com/video/1SoyFWgZGB0/w-d-xo.html The thrust seem to be pointing to under the wings. It has only 35hp and can pull itself out of the water by directing thrust flow under the wings to lift the hull.
The KSM has its two front engines tilted at an angle that makes its exhaust go under the wings to make it hover better. Also, this video was amazing keep it up 👍
Peter: How about putting a lightweight hinged arm with a small float on the end that would track the surface of the water? It could provide a signal to the control elevators to maintain an optimal flying height over the water. Then all you would have to manually control would be the power and the rudder.
maybe others have suggested already or you may have tried it out already, an ultrasonic distance sensor could probably help in maintaining the ground distance. you would need some onboard custom electronics though. Love your work btw :)
lmao... he's a prophet but next decade it'll feel more weird because I feel like we'll have larger civil unrest and a cyberwar with China and north korea
U should also try seriously loading it down. It works best when it is very heavy. It creates more stability and you have less of the excess power issue.
