Assuming DeepL is not lying to me, apparently ekranoplans were invented in Finland! Unfortunately, the Wikipedia article doesn't mention this

It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is ZIP. An ekranoplan called SAUCY SUE is zipping across the Indian Ocean to Mombasa, entry point to the African megacity of Ken-Tan-Moz. #bookqw #spaceopera #ekranoplan https://www.benjeapes.com/index.php/phoenicias-worlds/

OK, it’s finally time for me to tell my “Monino story,” as I promised @nyrath. This is a good one.

Many years ago, my friend @sevensixfive – being obsessed with #ekranoplans, as all normal people are – posted an image he’d captured from Google Earth, of what sure as heckity looked like the mortal remains of a Beriev VVA-14 #ekranoplan. Here, you can go see it for yourself: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Q55kJQqrABLJWXx77

#Bodeneffektflugzeug:

#Chinas #Ekranoplan für #Militärzwecke entdeckt.

Das " #Bohai - #Seeungeheuer " soll den #Bodeneffekt nutzen, um schnell übers #Wasser zu #fliegen. Schon die #Sowjets zeigten, wie das aussehen kann.

Während des #KaltenKriegs experimentierte die #Sowjetunion mit ungewöhnlichen Konzepten. Eines davon ist der sogenannte #Ekranoplan, ein #Flugzeug, das den #Bodeneffekt ausnutzt und nur wenige Meter über der Oberfläche fliegt.
