Graham Taylor's Extra Web Site

My main web site is full, and has over flowed into this one.
This site is for video clips, which take up a lot of space.

The WhizzyWig prototype (MK5) in XGE (extreme ground effect)
As you can see, it does not touch the water at all!!
Below are some video clips of the WhizzyWig prototype (MK5) in action.

The Most Extreme Model You Can Make!

WIG/EKRANOPLAN VIDEO CLIPS


Three Passes (1,300 kb): The WhizzyWig prototype model makes three passes in XGE (eXtreme Ground Effect) mode.  Watch as the wake disappears and there is just a ripple from the wing tip vortices.  Classic extreme ground effect! 
Into the Bushes (778 kb): A really great run of the WhizzyWig prototype model in XGE, but see what happens when there is no drag and no brakes!  If you look closely you will see that the propellers stopped spinning well before the end of the run. 

Amphistar (1,296 kb)		 An action clip of the full size Russian Amphistar ekranoplan by Dr Sinitsyns' team.  Check out the wing tip vortex trail on the water.  (I have Dr Sinitsyn and Mr Fischer to thank for their advice that enabled me to improve the running of the MK5)

MK5 in France
(Temporarly removed)		 MK5 demonstration at EAGES Ground effect Symposium France June 2001.  The model gets into ground effect just as it passes the camera - it is a little difficult to see but note look how the wake disappears.  By the end of the run there is hardly a ripple. 2,132 KB
