      EDIT: But it never became a flying thing since planes must be light to fly, while submarines have a heavy, thick hull to prevent it from collapsing due to immense water pressure. If built at an RC scale, of course it could still make it in one piece, but as a piece of huge military machinery which is very money-hungry, huge and must be practical, just sinking 1-5ft underwater can just make it very vulnerable to Allied battleships.

      The Russians I heard are planning to continue work on Alekseev’s legacy. For patrolling and rescue operations along the northern sea route along Russia, a new route for merchant ships from Asia to Europe to the north along Russia to Europe (shorter by about 10 days than via the Suez Canal). The climate became warmer and the ice receded - now this is a promising route. WIG Alekseev - this is exactly what the doctor prescribed for these purposes.

    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)

    • @autochton

      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?

    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.

      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

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!

    These are so cool. If you could sense the distance between the airframe and the water, you could program the throttle to keep the wings in ground effect.
    It doesn't have to fly so close to the surface to be in ground effect. It just needs to be "at or below approximately half the length of the aircraft's wingspan". However, I guess the lower it is, the more efficient.

    You can absolutely operate ground effect vehicles in high waves. the altitude of the ground effect is proportionate to the chord of the wing. That is why it has to be giant - then if hovers 10 meters above the surface and can go in rough sea of up to 3 meter waves. When it goes it travels 400-500kmh using only a fraction of power that a plane of comparable size would consume which is why electric ekranoplanes are awesome.

    I know this is a couple years old video but it may help others attempting it. The cause of the side to side rolling can be reduced by putting a slight dihedral in the wings. Meaning a very wide, flat, V shape side to side. The tail plane had a dihedral. However it wasn't completely secure and wobbled separate from the air frame.
    So add dihedral to the wings and sure up the tail construction
