Abstract
A ground effect vehicle consists of a central, wing-like support body (1), floats (5) and/or undercarriage units located on both sides of the support body, a thrust generator (11) located in front of the support body, a control surface (14, 16) and a cabin (17), located on top of the support body for at least one person and, if required, for payloads. In order to increase the ground effect and to realize the ground effect even at low speeds, a nose (6) extending far forwards is provided in front of the support body (1), which nose forms an airflow duct (7) directed under the support body, the thrust generator (11) being located under the front region of the nose (6) in or immediately in front of the airflow duct (7).
