Ground effect concept landyacht

Using inverted airfoil axle flaps as 'aerodynamic ballast'

The Warp Factor landyacht, dry lake bed, mountains and sky are computer generated objects. The objects were created with Mid Night Modeller Version 2.10, movie frames ray-traced with POV-Ray 3.0's animation feature and then compiled into an MPG movie using the Berkeley MPEG-1 Video Encoder - all software freely available on the internet.
