Ground effect - the effect of added aerodynamic buoyancy produced by a cushion of air below a vehicle moving close to the ground.

Ground effect - the effect of added aerodynamic buoyancy produced by a cushion of air below a vehicle moving close to the ground + it acts exactly when the altitude is equal to the wing span. (its due to induced drag)
