Hi, Can you just start off with a carbon sheert locked in the cnc machien ?

Soviet design printed and sponsored by Chinese company with questionable methods. Not impressed mate :/

Daniel please take your prop off your motor when you're doing stuff on the bench thank you

Cool video and idea. However even 1:1 vehicles aren’t doing 100k miles without routine maintenance. So while you test is cool it’s like driving your car and never doing an oil change or anything.

Good job

24:30 nah that's just the screams of all the slug souls the rover has consumed

not big enough

the engine needs ignition advance to rev

That's awesome. If you cropped the top off the footage that starts around 17:20, the docks would look like Soviet-era concrete buildings at scale. Pretty wild.

This project is beyond sick

This project is beyond sick

Is there any way you can run a slightly shorter gear ration between motor and props instead of direct drive? You might be able to run the motor at higher rpm and thus even get the prop faster, without having to use a tiny inefficient propeller.

Could you put two stabs, one forward and one aft, such that the aft one provides nose down and the forward one provides nose up? The idea being that they cancel eachother out when both are in the water, but if one leaves the water the remaining one will correct your pitch.

wonderful build!! so exciting. Also you should use gyroid infil instead of cubic. way stronger for same infill %age

Now add a gopro

Is there a possibility of running the various designs through a computer simulation program - this would definitely save having to expend a significant amount of physical material.

I hate annoying semen between my toes.

Ever consider there was a reason they used eight engines on the original? It took a huge push to get it airborne and stable. At least initially.

I know this is an older video, but that was pretty cool.

Легенда, просто легенда.

Great build video 👌

What the heck with thumb cutting??? 😅 1:50 you made me spill my coffee! 😃

Thank god for sponsorblock automatically skipping all advertisement otherwise this video would be unwatchable

I love this project, I made full plan for this project. But i couldn’t make it. Because of beautiful Germans law 🤢🤮

Next time use gyroid as your infill. You'll be able to empty it out that way as technically you can print using gyroid and if you wanted, fill the entire print with liquid, every space can be filled OR emptied.

Why didn't you put an exhaust on that stupid thing it's ridiculously loud for how slow it is thumbs down

I was going to ask how you got those cool shots towards the end. That was great photography!

Looks amazing. I hope you can get it going, I love the ekranoplan!

❤

у оригинального экраноплана нижняя часть фузеляжа не в форме самолетного а в форме лодочного корпуса!

Why does throttle cause it to pitch down ... are the motors above the centre ?

Awesome build 🎉

you’re project and video output is crazy!! make sure ur getting rest!

How much

you should make an rc boat that has hydro foils but instead the purpose of the hydro foils arent to be under water, it should be skipping/skimming across the surface of the water.

4:30 i dont believe this dude actually think living in the northwest its actually sad and depressing, the other 80% of nort, centric and south america would be happy with the mere fact to walk safely on the night 😢

Can you make an working fishing boat hehehe

a total fail

Tip: before hot glueing in servos, wrap them in painters tape. Later it will be easy to get them clean.

The center of gravity is way too far forward causing a nose dive. You have to point downward thrust to counter it which is not going to work. Another problem is the tiny leverage of fans being near the fuselage. Moving the fans up on top of the wings on the outside would solve both problems. Then fix the angle on incidence and maybe have some flap dudes to trap more air for the lift/ground effect. You could probably get away with just 2 fans in that setup. If you try to design the MAC like an ordinary airplane, then you are going to need lots of speed to get lift. Instead go all-in for ground effect and trap lots of air between the wing and the water. You could also add some stubby little hydrofoil winglets under the belly to lessen the teeter-totter nose planting and get that tail out of the water.

i love ekranoplans

More power!!!!!

Finding this video after 14 years is crazy. This video came out when i was 4. Best regards from the future

What if you moved the main wing back then get rid of the flaps on the motor pods and make a tunnel to the main wing.maybe shorten the tail section up to the next step

Id like to draw a turbine using aurea section, but i don't know where to start.

Add a booster rocket to get out of the water!

Off the cuff, your wing incidence is too low, but towards the end of your vid sounds like you realized that...Definitely cool and a lot of work!

I'm a naval architect and I got a few GEV concepts if you want them

Why not use 2 hydrofoils for better pitch stability? If you are powering this thing with motors you won't be pumping it anyway.
