A-90 "Орлёнок"

An old soviet unique aircraft vehicle A-90 used mostly by military needs as a transporter. The A-90 uses ground effect to fly a few meters above the surface. This is Class B Ekranoplan - it can achieve an altitude of 3,000 m (9,800 ft), placing between Class A - which is limited to ground effect, and Class C, which exploits the ground effect only during take-offs and landings.
