  1. "almost 100 years ago!" there was no such country as Russia...(That is what Lenin/Bolsheviks claimed to not pay Russian debt). On top of it: By the 1920s, the ground effect phenomenon was well-known, as pilots found that their airplanes appeared to become more efficient as they neared the runway surface during landing. In 1934 the US National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics issued Technical Memorandum 771, Ground Effect on the Takeoff and Landing of Airplanes, which was a translation into English of a summary of French research on the subject. The French author Maurice Le Sueur had added a suggestion based on this phenomenon: "Here the imagination of inventors is offered a vast field. The ground interference reduces the power required for level flight in large proportions, so here is a means of rapid and at the same time economic locomotion: Design an airplane which is always within the ground-interference zone. At first glance this apparatus is dangerous because the ground is uneven and the altitude called skimming permits no freedom of maneuver. But on large-sized aircraft, over water, the question may be attempted ..."

  2. Here is nice story from Russian article about this topic in wikipedia: "In 1935, Finnish engineer Toivo Kaario built the first experimental towed vehicle for the purpose of using and studying the ground effect. Kaario's ground effect sled had a 2x2.6 m wing mounted on skis. The ekranoplan was towed using an aerosled." There's nothing like a Russian lying about Russian achievements while using a nickname that suggests he's not a Moscow henchman at all...🤣
