Looks like a plane where a very fat passenger has unfortunately got onboard.

@phrawgg2 Caspian sea monster is the nickname of the russian giant ekronoplane, not a term for hoverwing or wig effect craft. Flarecraft is another name.

yes i know what a w.i.g.e is they r4 also called w.i.s.e craft i was talking about the air engined part. the crafts engine is not powered by air.

its a W.I.G.E. with a hovercraft on bottom. Makes perfect sense. Also look up "ekranoplans" - same idea but huge and sans hovercraft skirt.  The Russians even made one as a sort of cruise missile platform. Caspian Sea Monster is another term for them.

The real name of this type of craft is ekranoplane, the difference with hovercraftis in the ability to fly for a short time, as to jump over an obstacle, but they cannot manoeuver at low speed on ground.

That's awesome! The trouble with a hover craft is that it has a hard time transitioning from water to land if the shore isn't smooth. That thing would be able to clear a rough rocky shore or a patch of rough water on a river! NICE!
