Abstract:
Vehicles designed to use ground effect forces to control a positioning of the vehicle relative to a surface as well as their methods of use are described.

Claim (Index 45):
A method of controlling a vehicle immersed in a fluid, the method comprising:\n orienting a flat portion of the vehicle towards a surface; applying a thrust to the vehicle that biases the vehicle towards the surface; and generating a ground effect force that acts on the vehicle relative to the surface, wherein the net weight of the vehicle, the net thrust biasing the vehicle towards the surface, and the ground effect force associated with the surface result in a substantially net zero force applied to the vehicle in a direction oriented towards the surface.
