The original F1 ground effect era (late 1970s-early 1980s) used inverted wings and side skirts to create powerful suction, “sucking” cars to the track for immense cornering grip, pioneered by Lotus ...

Ground effect is a natural aerodynamic phenomenon where an aircraft experiences increased lift and reduced induced drag when operating close to a surface. Many pilots inadvertently mishandle ground ...

Ground effect vehicles exploit the increase in lift and reduction in drag experienced when flying close to a surface. By trapping a cushion of high-pressure air beneath their wings or lifting surfaces ...
