Greetings!!! This is by far my best creation! This is the Ekranoplan KM. This craft is a revolutionary design created in the 1960's This plan uses the ground effect which is a cushion of air between the craft and the ground/water. This plane uses that to its advantage of speed, and definitely size. I have taken my attempt and I think it looks amazing. Although SP doesn't have the ground effect.

Caution!! THIS PLANE IS HARD TO CONTROL, BE CAREFUL

AG1= Main Engines
AG2= Tail engines.
(Use both engines for takeoff, and then deactivate/power down the main engines.)
VTOL= Flaps/Trim
AG3= Lights

I hope you enjoy and thank you!!!
