AIRBORNE VEHICLE Abstract of the Disclosure The present invention relates in genral to the field of aviation and more specifically to grine-effect machines adapted for motion on an air cushion andcapable of taking off from ad landing on airfields of any class. The invention is aimed at the provision of such an airborne vehicle that is capable of flying with a high aerodynamic finene ratioboth in the near-the-ground mode and under free-flight conditions, taking-off from and landing on unprepared airfields or water, and ensuring stabilization and control of motion in every flight mode. The object is accomplished due to the fact that in a ground-effect machine, comprising fuselage shaped as a lifting wing, a power plant, an air-cushion alighting gear, a gas-dynamic boundary layer control system, a device for fixing the position of air-flow detachment from the trailing edge, a motion and stabilization control system, the alighting gear is shaped as a slotted nozzle (12) located on the fuselage bottom and side skegs (17) between which swivel flaps (21, 22, 23) are situated, which are aimed at control of the vehicle motion and adjustment of the position of the centre of pressure on the bottom. The fuselage of the vehicle is shaped as a cylindrical segment joined at its sides together with spherical fairings.
