ABSTRACT: Disclosed is an altitude control apparatus for a ground- effect winged vehicle utilizing the ground effect produced between its fuselage and wings and a water surface to fly at a very low altitude above the water surface with a slight distance therebetween, which comprises a sensor rendered always in contact with the water surface during navigation, for sending information on the distance between the water surface and the fuselage to a maneuvering system of said vehicle; and a connecting means for mechanically connecting the sensor to said vehicle; whereby an elevator controlled by the maneuvering system is operated based on the information on the distance between the water surface and the fuselage from the sensor to allow said vehicle to fly keeping the distance between the water surface and fuselage constant. The sensor may be provided in a float floatable on water and the mechanical connecting means may be a telescopic arm or a rewindable wire.
