Richard,
I quite agree...another machine worth looking at is the Russian Orljonok A90,
You probably know some of the history of Ekranoplans but they are still being looked at now...the Russians having done all the hard work and proving that this concept does work......very efficiently too !!!

Yes I have drawn up plans for one of these but it is 9 & 1/2 feet long...building is easy...getting it powered and performing right will be another matter.

Last Pic is a classic pic of 2 of these machines skimming the waves at 350mph !!

Regards......Mark.
