🛫 Wing in Ground Effect Lab: Ekranoplan Height, Induced Drag and Heave Stability - 3D Blender Scene

3D wing-in-ground-effect lab: set mass, span, chord, speed and incidence and watch lift, induced drag, power and heave stability change with height above the sea.

⚙ Under the hood

Fly a wing-in-ground-effect craft just above the waves: the image-vortex ground effect cuts induced drag by up to ~70 %, raises lift-to-drag at low h/b and makes height self-stabilising.
