The strange-looking craft might seem like something from science fiction, but Ekranoplans are real and the photograph is genuine. Although they may resemble aircraft, Ekranoplans are in fact ground effect vehicle that fly a few feet above any flat surface. Very basically, air compressed under a wing moving near the surface provides lift to the craft. The Ekranoplan in the photograph is a Soviet vehicle seen on the Caspian Sea during the 1960's.
