SEVTEC's with wings?

[dmanddmer]

Barry, or anyone, a few days ago there was a post about hovercraft with
wings, flying in ground effect. Is this practical and safe with a SEV?
What if the wings are retractable?

Both Windt <A HREF="http://www.bews.com/hover/">Universal Hovercraft</A> and
Weber (check <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/~hovercraft/">The Hovercrafters
Resource</A> for Weber) are currently flying such craft, perhaps practical for
fun, only. I did my fly thing, see <A
HREF="http://hometown.aol.com/hiitec/kite/trike.html">Hang Gliding and the
Trike</A> years ago, also practical for fun, but with potential for commercial
use in larger sizes. I used wheels, as I flew low over farmland in south
Florida.

As far as putting wings on a Sevtec, I have not pursued that. For technical
reasons, there is no real advantage at staying within ground effect, as flying
at some altitude, even as little as 100 feet, is a lot more enjoyable and
practical
and much safer than being in a perpetual state of "final approach", and if the
vehicle is designed for it, can be just as efficient.

To Anyone; Im a gearhead new to computers. I'm like the selfprofessed
"Computer Geek" who was so proud to fix his UH15 (I think it was) on a sand
bar only the other way around. All I see in the above message from the
Webbers is symbols and such. Is there a problem with my machine? Or is this
code? Manic Mechanic
