Do a submarineplane . ( if is posible)
Idea . Qhen the submarineplane is in this position (back) / (front) to use a rocket boost
Heeelo
@@obsidianfury9394 FYI it's also proposed irl back in WW2 IIRC but none actually got built. One of them is made by some Soviet guy named Boris Ushakov.
upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/Flying_submarine_Russia.svg
EDIT: But it never became a flying thing since planes must be light to fly, while submarines have a heavy, thick hull to prevent it from collapsing due to immense water pressure. If built at an RC scale, of course it could still make it in one piece, but as a piece of huge military machinery which is very money-hungry, huge and must be practical, just sinking 1-5ft underwater can just make it very vulnerable to Allied battleships.
9:09 to 9:23 that thing "flying" just over the surface of the water is some of the coolest rc footage ive seen
yes exactly - Nerdy goose bumps time
Most satisfying perelsripol videos
Great choice of music too
I agree with you
The Russians I heard are planning to continue work on Alekseev’s legacy. For patrolling and rescue operations along the northern sea route along Russia, a new route for merchant ships from Asia to Europe to the north along Russia to Europe (shorter by about 10 days than via the Suez Canal). The climate became warmer and the ice receded - now this is a promising route. WIG Alekseev - this is exactly what the doctor prescribed for these purposes.
Peter has liked at least 2 comments about making it ride-able... I like where this is going.
And there's the third!
Do it please, I will give you all my money
Was he not involved with the flying canoe on flighttest? Not too far off from that
I already feel sorry for his dad.

Fun fact: the Ekranoplan is one of the few inventions that you can just scale up/down and it will still work (like the maxim machine gun, can be scaled up into an anti aircraft gun and scaled down into a submachine gun)
And indeed, these vessels seem to work better, the bigger they are. The retained air cushion grows taller as vehicle size increases, granting more resilience to wave height, efficiency gets better, maximum ground-effect speed rises, and the payload mass goes up enormously. TBH, the real problem with ekranoplan may be that we just haven't built one big enough...
Nuclear-electric propelled thousand-plus ton craft going 500 km/h anyone?

Can confirm as a Kerbal Space Program player. Built my own Ekranoplan and it’s some of the most fun I’ve had with an aircraft.

That was some nice camera work, editing and flying.

Stijn Carelsbergh fair enough
True
9:34 That's actually what the real KM class did. The eight engines on the front angled their thrust down under the wings for additional lift. Once airborne, all eight of those engines were shut off and two engines in the rear provided all of the in-flight thrust.
Shut up nerd

He should just convert his twin prop aircraft to it lol
The smoke machine scene at the beginning was incredible, I want to see that again with so many different things haha
9:15 that's beyond amazing.
This is one of the coolest projects I’ve seen in a while, this looked so cool especially when you got it to fly just right. How much flight time did you get out of it?
daniel Stark about 8 minutes or so! It would be longer if I just settled in to ground effect and cruise the whole time! It was flying on a 5000mah 5S lipo
daniel Stark nice
So the payload capacity is really high then?
PeterSripol that is very impressive! Especially with such a big plane. I would love to build one and fly it over snow
PeterSripol To think a 25000mah battery could give you like 30 minutes of flight is insane. I live in the middle of nowhere but that’s enough battery to fly to the closest town
Seeing that thing 'fly' was sooo satisfying!

These videos inspire me to whip together my own RC airplane creations. I have lots of conceptual designs to try out.
You forgot one thing, the front engines are only to get the plane into the ground effect, after that the 2 small motors on the tail fin are enough to keep it in the air.
It still looks really cool though!
Yes, and the Front were angled DOWNWARDS by i guess 15° to blow i under the wings
Another tidbit from wikipedia, it also had a large deflecting plate on the bottom to help it off the water.
Also the engines the front had downward deflectors on the exhaust to direct the engine exhaust under the wing for takeoff.
we also watched the other youtube video. now come on dont act like a pro
There are versions of it that had no back turbines.
This is my favorite video of yours, hands down. When you first got it going from the boat I smiled a mile wide. I also liked seeing you dealing with the same issues that faced the real one, like having too much thrust once in ground effect, not being able to steer it tightly, needing smooth calm water. It all added to the authenticity of the project and I loved it. :)
Once you had it trimmed in ground effect it flew surprisingly well (also seemed to behave like a normal plane pretty well too) :)
The KSM has its two front engines tilted at an angle that makes its exhaust go under the wings to make it hover better. Also, this video was amazing keep it up 👍
Legit one of the coolest RC projects I've ever seen. Really love the silver look from the aluminum tape

It is a testament to how good the power to weight ratio of this vehicle is that it could actually sorta fly with those wings.

“It will be able to fly above sonar but under radar.”

I love how it can do that
It flies over sonar, torpedoes, and minefields
but flies inside the shadow zone of radar formed by the curvature of the Earth
amazing
@@kurumi394
And flies at a high speed inaccessible to ships
@@kurumi394 It doesn't really fly over sonar. The air cushion still supports the plane's weight against water and it transfers the noise of the jet engines into water. It might not be a solid submerged object that would get detected by an active sonar ping, but the real thing is hella noisy, declaring its presence to everyone listening on passive sonar in a wide area.
@@DeuxisWasTaken even though they could detect it but they won't be able to get it down due to high speed and Flews over the water😂.
"My hands are _cold!_ They are freezing!" Yeah, dude... you're in Russia....
the setting for the water test was perfect.
In Soviet Russia, _you_ freeze ice.
Actually flying was on of the features just in case of waves. It was tested and managed to get a decent height

Oh boy YES please
You from mustard?
@@sea_emperour346 They're a concept I knew about beforehand, but yes I have seen his video.
Haha yes
I actually researched this a long time ago and most of the parts were available, but they were rediculous expensive and the jets themselves were not available. Needed to be custom machined. I imagine it would be easier today with so much custom CNC work available. Some at the personal experimental ultralight flight scale used chemical peroxide rockets! Largest ever made was the Fairey Rotodyne with a main rotor diameter of 90ft. You are a fan though so you probably about knew that hehe
Awesome video, Peter! I loved the part where you used the wake as a ramp to get airborne. Keep up the great work! :-D
maybe others have suggested already or you may have tried it out already, an ultrasonic distance sensor could probably help in maintaining the ground distance. you would need some onboard custom electronics though. Love your work btw :)
Check out rcflighttest channel, he included a board with lidar

Beautiful shot of it flying. Most excellent work Comrade!
The KM: *Has 10 jet engines*
Peter: My two turboprop model has an excess of power
The KM did shut off the front 8 jet engines when in ground effect though. Just the 2 mounted on the vertical stabilizer are enough to propel it forward.

Excelente, é uma otima opção de kit de aeromodelo. CONGRATULATIONS
Most ekranoplans vector the thrust from the engines underneath the wing to make a larger cushion of air
Only until they get going.
Alan Ferkinhoff nope even then they still jet air underneath
@@ryanm.191 In a real ekranoplan, the engines at the front were only used to get the massive, unwieldy body off the ground/water. Once they were off the ground and under the spell of the ground effect, the engines at the front turned off and the main cruising engines in the back turned on.
Here is a small home made version. ruclips.net/video/1SoyFWgZGB0/видео.html
The thrust seem to be pointing to under the wings. It has only 35hp and can pull itself out of the water by directing thrust flow under the wings to lift the hull.
it would be interesting to see how it "flies" with a flight controller in alt hold. it would let you control only the throttle while the controller manages the pitch and roll.
This thing flew so well in ground effect! Amazing!
You can absolutely operate ground effect vehicles in high waves. the altitude of the ground effect is proportionate to the chord of the wing. That is why it has to be giant - then if hovers 10 meters above the surface and can go in rough sea of up to 3 meter waves. When it goes it travels 400-500kmh using only a fraction of power that a plane of comparable size would consume which is why electric ekranoplanes are awesome.
Ok, now this is epic. Please make another version of this and/or do more flying next to the boat cause that was hilarious!!

hi Peter
how about making canard ground affect plane see if it will fly ground affect on large ground swell out in the ocean let's reduce power or no power at all after it is got airborne
having the small wing on the front should regulate the height of the craft flying over the waves or down the side of large waves regulate its height more easily in theory you should be able to Fly in ground affect down the front side of large waves like a surfer does but across the ocean for thousands of miles
YEEEEEETTT

Bro you should've added two motors in the back. When you have the lift turn off the motors in the front as you already have the lift, you just need the thrust now .
I'm not criticizing your design. I really like it. I'm just giving an extra idea😅😅
Really loved the experience you had when you flew it
Oh no a Russian spy
@@yolandashikers4006 ???
@@yolandashikers4006 he also made one?
These are so cool. If you could sense the distance between the airframe and the water, you could program the throttle to keep the wings in ground effect.
It doesn't have to fly so close to the surface to be in ground effect. It just needs to be "at or below approximately half the length of the aircraft's wingspan". However, I guess the lower it is, the more efficient.
This is by far the coolest thing you've ever made

The fact that models this small works means that with enough time, patience and funding a real life one could very well work
To get rid of some of the engines I suggest adding hydrofoil landing gear to get the ekronoplan up without using more fuel.
for some reason ground effect is beautiful to watch i imagine it like a super soft pillow sitting under you as you glide along smoothly
When you make an airplane by accident and I can't even make one on purpose
This was an already existing design used and tested/built by the USSR.
@@aplane9248 it wasnt supposed to fly high above water
@@Tiyratania needs to be more heavy, he really underestimated the amount of weight that thing can push
Watch mustard's video on the ekranoplan. The engine dynamics were actually quite surprising. The forward engines were only used at startup to force air under the GE wing, and once at speed could cruise on her rear engines only

It wasn't really an aircraft, but a boat that takes advantage of the lift of the ground effect:
GEV combines the following advantages:
carrying capacity of a ship
speed of an airplane
Every video on this channel gives me more positive emotions than any Hollywood movie.
Peter: How about putting a lightweight hinged arm with a small float on the end that would track the surface of the water? It could provide a signal to the control elevators to maintain an optimal flying height over the water. Then all you would have to manually control would be the power and the rudder.
portsmouthrunner could also just use a digital sensor
That’s kinda cheating it’s like flying with ur landing gears in the ground
E
just use LIDAR, yes lasers are the answer to everything!
@@MNGLD-do2kc yes
Let me just say, the scenery in which it officially "flew" in the lake is not just appropriate but also perfect. Congratulations Peter, amazing project.
Honestly Peter, coolest model you’ve ever built!
I know this is a couple years old video but it may help others attempting it. The cause of the side to side rolling can be reduced by putting a slight dihedral in the wings. Meaning a very wide, flat, V shape side to side. The tail plane had a dihedral. However it wasn't completely secure and wobbled separate from the air frame.
So add dihedral to the wings and sure up the tail construction
I'm a simple man, I see ekranoplanes, I click.

The square cross-section fuselage seems more practical (shipping containers, passengers & luggage, etc), and mainly flat surfaces (perhaps some airfoil on the topside of the wing) seem easier to manufacture as well.

On real ekranoplans, the forward engines are used only to start the WIG, after "taking off" the forward engines will shut off, and the "pushers" at the back will provide thrust, since forcing air under the wing is no longer needed due to forward movement.
The ekranoplan is truly one of the kost beautiful aircraf-boat- aircraft boats ever made. If it could operate on rough oceans then they could have transported entire armies across the pacific.
