I’m pretty sceptical about ground effect planes, there’s a very good reason why they’ve never really taken off, despite so many countries and organisations giving them a try over the years, but I’d love to know what everyone else thinks.

    There’s been a handful of small passenger ones built in a number of countries, including some aircraft converted into ground effect planes. Germany has built a few, and Iran apparently uses them to some degree.
