Ground Effect Vehicle
A Ground Effect Vehicle (GEV) is a type of transportation that operates close to the surface of the ground or water, utilizing the aerodynamic lift generated by the air pressure difference between the vehicle and the surface. This effect allows the vehicle to glide smoothly, reducing drag and increasing efficiency. GEVs can travel over various terrains, including land and water, making them versatile for different applications.
These vehicles often resemble a combination of an airplane and a hovercraft, as they can achieve lift without fully leaving the ground. Ground Effect Vehicles are designed for high-speed travel and can be used for purposes such as transportation, search and rescue, or even military operations.
