A floatable ground effect vehicle is provided with at least one wing arrangement, at least one thrust generator (10) seated in front of the wing arrangement and at least one airflow duct (14) from the thrust generator (10) which can be directed under the wing arrangement. So that the ground effect vehicle can also be designed for a larger number of passengers, the central region of the vehicle is designed as an elongated cabin (2) which is seated on a boat-type float or is itself design as the boat hull. Stub wings (3) arranged on both sides and distributed at equal distances are provided over the length of the passenger cabin (2), the stub wings enclosing a static pressure build-up space on their lower surface. At least one separate thrust generator (10) is installed in front of at least some stub wings (3), the thrust generator being connected or connectable to the respective static pressure build-up space by means of an airflow duct (14).

A floatable ground effect vehicle comprising: an elongated passenger cabin having a boat-like hull; at least two pair of stub wings affixed to the sides of said passenger cabin in tandem, each of said stub wings having a first end affixed to said passenger cabin and a second end, a lower surface of each of said stub wings, enclosing a static pressure build-up space; a thrust generator associated with each stub wing adapted to generate a sufficient air flow necessary to form both a static pressure build-up under said associated stub wing providing a powerlift of said vehicle in a vertical direction and a propulsion pressure providing a propulsion of said vehicle in a horizontal direction; and an airflow duct provided on each of said stub wings, said air flow duct supporting said associated thrust generator forward of said stub wing and directing said airflow to said static pressure build-up space, said airflow duct thereby cooperating with said thrust generator to provide said static pressure build-up and said propulsion pressure.
