A ground-effect vehicle (GEV), also called a wing-in-ground-effect (WIG), ground-effect craft, wingship, flarecraft or ekranoplan (Russian: экранопла́н - "screenglider"), is a vehicle that is able to move over the surface by gaining support from the reactions of the air against the surface of the earth or water. Typically, it is designed to glide over a level surface (usually over the sea) by making use of ground effect, the aerodynamic interaction between the moving wing and the surface below. Some models can operate over any flat area such as frozen lakes or flat plains similar to a hovercraft.

AQUAS | EP-15. Speed, seakeeping and versatile applications
A multipurpose marine craft for high-speed passenger and cargo transportation. Max speed 200 kmh, 12 ~ 25persons + 2 crew capacity, advanced safety, comfort, and seakeeping performance.
The idea and conceptual parameters of the EP-15 multipurpose marine ekranoplan were inspired by dozens of inquiries from the potential operators around the world who consider procurement of this particular craft for the commercial usage.
The prospective product is going to be designed as the multi-purpose WIG platform that may be applied for different transport tasks:
- passenger and cargo transportation
- search and rescue on water
- patrol and security on the water
The dimensions, passenger capacity, technical characteristics of this WIG craft are balanced following the major factors that determine the market success: customers inquiries about their transport tasks and desired features, existing certification requirements and operational regulations, the economic efficiency of the product usage.
The potential market is worldwide water transport industry.
The preliminary analysis of the economic efficiency of the product allows concluding that the product has the favorable market niche between ships and aircraft.
