The Hawaii Seaglider Initiative is currently testing a ground-effect vehicle for inter-island passenger service that hopes to use the unique characteristics of this type of aircraft to reduce ...

The seaglider takes advantage of what's called the wing-in-ground-effect – where a winged vehicle experiences less aerodynamic drag when it's close to the surface it's flying above, like the ...

Ekranoplans are a curious class of vehicle; most well known for several Soviet craft designed to operate at sea, flying just above the waves in ground effect. [rctestflight] had accidentally come ...

The ground effect regulations were introduced in 2022 to level the playing field in F1, since there's only so much downforce and performance you can extract from the current era of Formula One cars.

Ariel has unveiled a new Aero-P Atom concept which uses clever ground-effect aerodynamic technology to help the car produce downforce even when it's stationary. The system is reminiscent of the ...
