ground effect craft aka ekranoplan: ship or aircraft?
("Morgans" wrote)
So, is it an airplane, or not? Some things make it appear as it is, and
some do not. I think that it depends on what you put as the most
important characteristic.
It's my understanding: (in Minnesota)
If it cannot sustain flight outside of ground effect, it's a boat - for
licensing purposes.
I've seen the rule, but can't find it. More Googling...
