Aurora Flight Sciences has released a new video of its revolutionary wing-in-ground-effect Liberty Lifter concept aircraft that it's developing for DARPA. The aircraft uses ground effect to lift heavy ...

If you happen to live in Rhode Island, you may get a chance later this year to witness the first manned flights of the Regent seaglider, a unique ocean-hugging electric aircraft that relies on wing-in ...

Boeing has outlined more details of the high-capacity, long-range cargo aircraft concept dubbed the Pelican, or ultra-large transport aircraft (ULTRA). Under study by the Phantom Works for military ...

Ground effect is the reduction of induced drag an aircraft experiences when flying very close to a flat surface, caused by the deflection of downwash, which improves aerodynamic performance. It is ...

Three wing-in-ground-effect aircraft, one complete, included in sale after liquidators fail to find buyer for Australian firm Auctioneers will this week sell the assets of Australian ...

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 ...

A scooter company just built a flying boat inspired by a Cold War monster, and somehow that's not the craziest part. If you told me a company best known for electric scooters had spent the last five ...

Ground effect is an aerodynamic phenomenon occurring when an aircraft's wing is close to a surface, resulting in increased lift and reduced induced drag, often leading pilots to struggle with ...
