A ground-effect vehicle (GEV, wing-in-ground-effect (WIGE or WIG), ground-effect craft/machine (GEM), wingship, flarecraft, surface effect vehicle or ekranoplan Russian: экранопла́н – "screenglider") is a winged vehicle that makes use of the ground effect to reduce aerodynamic drag. The ground effect is the interaction between a moving wing and a stationary surface below.
