I laughed out loud when the potato came up, but on reflection ...
The potato is a sort of anti-gravitational plane, a bit like the "vomit comet" - it flies in a parabolic trajectory.

the Ekranoplan is sort of an aero plane it comes off the ground but uses a diff erent method of "flight"

@guns21111 Id say the ekranoplan requires the ground effect to fly, and does not fly freely in the air, and so isnt a 'plane'. Its properly a gound effect vehicle or GEV.
I dont know if ANY thing that uses any type of aerodynamic lift can be called a plane. I mean a glider uses thermals to fly and so is named such. Similarly airplane comes from ancient greek 'wandering in the air'. The GEV uses the ground effect primarily, and so is its own class of vehicle i reckon.
