Ekranoplanes

Wow I had never heard of Ekranoplanes until 30 mins ago.

Basically it's a vehicle that act's like a plane and uses bernouli's principle to fly at very high speeds but low to the water so it's more like a boat.

The advantage is these things can get really really big.











Super trippy apparently it's not science fiction and have the ability to cover open seas. This seems to be the best website with lots of info on both old and new designs.
