Reminiscent of the Caspian Sea Monster. That didn't end well, either.

Derelict and ugly now, but back in its day I wouldn't have wanted it mad at me:

OMG that thing is ugly. My first thought was it resembles a Soviet helicopter. Then I looked it up, hah hah, it was Soviet.

My recollection of aviation is back in the 30’s and 40’s they had some very successful amphibious airliners and military planes, and they looked pretty good.

The Ekranoplan “ended badly” because the USSR collapsed. The vehicle worked as designed.

What has that got to do with this electric powered one? Ground effect flight is well known.
