Ground-surface-effect wing plane.

摘要

An improved ground-surface-effect wing plane is disclosed. The improvements reside basically in the provision of a top plate having an upwardly convex surface portion along its front edge and having a principal portion of its entire width formed in an aerofoil section shape over its entire length, a central fuselage section provided at the center of the top plate and having a crewman's seat, end plates disposed along the opposite side surfaces of the top plate over its entire length, and a blower associated with an air exhaust duct and disposed in the rear of the central fuselage section. Besides the aforementioned basic improvement, various further improvements are proposed such as the provision of spoilers in association with the top plate, a front end cover disposed under the upwardly convex surface portion so that it can adjust an area of an opening in front of the plane body, a thrust switching damper contained in the air exhaust duct, an airflow direction control damper contained in the air exhaust duct, a vertical tail having a rudder assembled therein and disposed at the rear end of the top plate, an intake duct additionally associated with the blower, floats associated with the end plates, or the like.
