renThis is a special request not to transfer this to the siftoff.. I made this video compilation, not for any personal recognition as i am unfortunately not responsible for the footage or the audio. I am also not associated with the info site link at the end of the vid, i just thought if i put it all together some people might watch it and be inspired like I was. The movie clips are obviously in order of age. The NSFW tag is because of the music lyrics.
I have loved this technology ever since i saw a short 2 minute segment on the discovery channel about 7 years ago.
I still have plans to build a prototype.
Farhad2000Ekranoplans were going to be used by the USSR to transport Spetsnaz troops into the West coast from Siberia.
renyeah, the Caspian Sea Monster was it's name, and was capable of 200km/h and up with a few hundred troops onboard.
amxcvbcvVery well done.
deathcownice!
pho3n1xnice editing. pretty cool technology, but the stability issues would concern me. watch a boat race and you'll understand. some pretty incredible designs there though...
benjeeNice job Ren! Good footage and a great soundtrack by Radiohead.
cardboardhutsays...The video and the music worked together really well. Great job ren. I found it mesmerizing.
renthanks for the comments,
I'm not sure stability is the major issue, as compared to perhaps bad weather and choppy seas which reduce the efficiency of the air cushion underneath. I'm interesting in designing a plane thats intended to go at faster than 300km/h using a small jet turbine for propulsion. As far as i can tell very little research has been done in this area, and the shapes of plane required would be quite different to the slower speed flare wing airfische.
Anyone wanna donate a wind tunnel and 3d printer?
Still, I love the tech, being able to just cruise off land and over water, nothing but the horizon and clear blue sea... it makes me drool.
