This looks like fun: a hovercraft that is also a ground-effects aircraft. I know hovercraft are also GEVs, but they are limited by their cushion height.

Interesting to see the old Russian "Ekranoplane" idea being dug out of mothballs. Let's hope they can make a go of it as the fuel efficiency is (IIRC) about 2 to 3 times that of an ordinary plane and over ocean it shouldn't be that much slower.

Every couple of years someone "invents" the ekranoplane again. I like this hovercraft hybrid idea.
