The invention relates to a ground-effect vehicle for the rapid transport of people and/or freight, with at least one body, a drive train and ground-effect bearing surfaces, a guidance system for directional control and a drive system on the body and/or bearing surface in the form of propeller or fan drives. The aim of the invention is to provide a ground-effect vehicle which is inexpensive to build, avoids the prior art drawbacks in particular and is especially economical to operate. According to the invention, the ground- effect vehicle consists of at least one aircraft fuselage (1), the ground- effect bearing surfaces (2) are secured directly at least to parts of the existing bearing surfaces (6) of the aircraft or at least on the existing spars (12) surrounding them or secured thereto beneath the existing bearing surfaces (6) and that the drive system (4; 15; 16) has means which increase the power and/or reduce friction in the take-off and landing phases.

L'invention concerne un véhicule à effet de sol pour transport rapide de personnes et/ou de marchandises, qui comprend au moins un fuselage, un train d'atterrissage et des surfaces portantes à effet de sol, un système d'empennage pour assurer la commande directionnelle et un mécanisme de commande situé au niveau du fuselage ou de la surface portante et se présentant sous forme de d'entraînement à hélices ou d'entraînement ventilateur. L'invention vise à mettre au point un véhicule à effet de sol, qui soit économique à produire, pallie les insuffisances de l'état de la technique et dont l'exploitation soit particulièrement rentable. L'invention se caractérise en ce que le véhicule à effet de sol comprend au moins un fuselage (1) d'avion, les surfaces portantes à effet de sol (2) sont fixées directement au moins sur des parties des surfaces portantes existantes (6) de l'avion ou au moins sur des longerons (12) existants les entourant, ou sur lesdits longerons, en dessous des surfaces portantes existantes (6). L'empennage (4; 15; 16) est pourvu d'éléments qui augmentent la sustentation et/ou réduisent le frottement durant la phase de décollage et d'atterrissage.
