  • Ground effect vehicle
    Patent number: 6230835
    Abstract: The invention concerns a ground effect vehicle comprising hydrofoils or hydrofoil outer parts (18) which can pivot about a parallel line relative to the longitudinal axis of the body in order to increase the speed range when flying close the ground. In addition, the hydrofoils and the body can be provided with trailing edge flaps (19) which are articulated so as to pivot about a horizontal axis and, depending on the selected angle of incidence of the hydrofoils or hydrofoil parts, can be controlled as lift-increasing ailerons or flippers.
