I think that is the point. It looks like someone is trying to infer that the Wright Flier is not an airplane because it
never left ground effect....

If your vehicle won't be able to fly out of ground effect (and you
don't plan on flying over water) where will you fly it??? I don't
think ground effect goes up and over obstructions (houses, trees,
water towers. electrical power lines, etc).

Where would you use the vehicle and how? Fly point to point around the
airport vs using a golf cart?

Maybe it would make a fun, ground-effect only, preliminary
flight trainer :-) If it won't leave ground effect, it's
not an airplane.
