Ground effect is a term applied to a series of aerodynamic effects used in car design, which has been exploited to create downforce, particularly in racing cars. This has been the successor to the earlier dominant aerodynamic theory of streamlining. American racing IndyCars employ ground effects in their car's engineering and designs, similarly they are also employed in other racing series' to some extent, however Formula One for example, as well as most other racing series, primarily across Europe, use design constraints due to specific regulations (or complete bans) which affects and limits its effectiveness.
Theory
In racing cars, a designer's aim is for increased downforce and grip to achieve higher cornering speeds. A substantial amount of downforce is available by understanding the ground to be part of the aerodynamic system in question, hence the name "ground effect". Starting in the mid-1960s, 'wings' were routinely used in the design of race cars to increase downforce (this is not a type of ground effect). Designers shifted their efforts at understanding air flow around the perimeter, body skirts, and undersides of the vehicle to increase downforce with less drag than compared to using a wing.
Ground effect (aerodynamics), the increased lift and decreased aerodynamic drag of a wing close to a fixed surface
Ground effect (cars), an effect that creates downforce, primarily in racing cars
Ground effect vehicle, a vehicle which attains level flight near the surface of the Earth due to ground effect
Ground effect train, an alternative to a magnetic levitation train, using ground effect in aircraft to prevent the vehicle from making contact with the ground
In fixed-wing aircraft, ground effect is the increased lift (force) and decreased aerodynamic drag that an aircraft's wings generate when they are close to a fixed surface.
When landing, ground effect can give the pilot the feeling that the aircraft is "floating". When taking off, ground effect may temporarily reduce the stall speed. The pilot can then fly level just above the runway while the aircraft accelerates in ground effect until a safe climb speed is reached.
Principle of ground effect
When an aircraft flies at a ground level approximately at or below the length of the aircraft's wingspan or helicopter's rotor diameter, there occurs, depending on airfoil and aircraft design, an often noticeable ground effect. This is caused primarily by the ground interrupting the wingtip vortices and downwash behind the wing. When a wing is flown very close to the ground, wingtip vortices are unable to form effectively due to the obstruction of the ground. The result is lower induced drag, which increases the speed and lift of the aircraft.
An aeroplane's flight characteristics are different when flying close to the ground compared with flying at some altitude. Ground Effect can provide improved flyability. Find out more in this video.

Egy csodálatos történet a Red Bull polgárháború közepén - Szaudi Nagydíj Kibeszélő
Bár az F1-ben elvileg a pályán zajlanak az események, az idei évben ez biztosan nem lesz így. A jeddahi futamról ugyanis negyedannyit tudunk elmondani, mint a sportág körül zajló ügyekről.

How F1's 2021 ground effect differs from its fearsome predecessor - Chain Bear explains
Chain Bear's latest video takes a look at the latest details we've seen from Formula 1 about the plans for its 2021 rules revolution - specifically the return of ground effect aerodynamics. The approach developed by Lotus towards the end of the 1970s proved so effective that it was banned after just a few years on safety grounds. Chain Bear explains how the concept works, why it was so dangerous in the past, and how its reintroduction will be managed differently to prevent a repeat of the frightening breed of cars that were produced last time around

What is Ground Effect? | Impact on Aircraft & Helicopters | Understanding Downwash & Induced Drag |
Hi! In this video we look at what is Ground Effect and its impact on Aircraft and Helicopters.
When an aircraft or helicopter is close to the ground during takeoff or landing, more lift is created on the wings or on the main rotor. This is because of a reduction in the wing tip vortices which has an impact on the downwash at the training edge of the wings.
These factors come together to improve the lift on the aircraft and helicopter.
What could go wrong because of this? Watch to find out!

HOW F1 CARS STARTED TO SUCK! The Story of the First Ground Effect Era (1978-1982)
Clever little pun, innit?
Ground effect. One of those Lotus 'inventions' that took the rest of the F1 world by storm. What had they created? How did it work? How do they copy it? But as with a lot of innovations in F1, they had too much of a good thing, and it had to be stopped. So let's look at how it all changed.

Flying In Ground Effect (Private Pilot Ground Lesson 14)
Flying in ground effect! This video explains ground effect and wingtip vortices. This is private Pilot ground lesson 14 in our free private Pilot ground course. This video explains ground effect by first explaining wingtip vortices and what causes them. We discuss wingtip vortices and how they are related to angle of attack and airspeed. We also explain how they cause wake turbulence and how we should avoid wake turbulence as pilots. We then dive into ground effect and how it is caused by wingtip vortices being disrupted as we get close to the ground. This information will help you study for the private Pilot written exam and the oral exam for your check ride. This training is intended to follow the aeronautical knowledge areas in Part 61.105 section b for single engine aircraft.

Glider Ground Effect Demonstration
It is simply mind boggling how far a glider can fly low to the ground and stay in what is called ground effect. Ground effect is simply flying very near the ground (under one wingspan from the dirt) and magically the lift is increased and drag is decreased. If you want to know why, do a google search. :) Haha. The net effect is it seems like the glider can just keep gliding right over the ground forever. In this video the glider flew over a mile in ground effect and only lost 5 miles per hour. Please do not try to fly like this or try to recreate this experiment. It is very easy to touch down too fast (I came very close!) or overshoot the end of the runway and then not have enough energy to pull up safely and turn back and land. You will notice that I started at around 74 knots wel...

It is simply mind boggling how far a glider can fly low to the ground and stay in what is called ground effect. Ground effect is simply flying very near the ground (under one wingspan from the dirt) and magically the lift is increased and drag is decreased. If you want to know why, do a google search. :) Haha. The net effect is it seems like the glider can just keep gliding right over the ground forever. In this video the glider flew over a mile in ground effect and only lost 5 miles per hour. Please do not try to fly like this or try to recreate this experiment. It is very easy to touch down too fast (I came very close!) or overshoot the end of the runway and then not have enough energy to pull up safely and turn back and land. You will notice that I started at around 74 knots well beyond the airport property and was still flying at 70 knots indicated airspeed and only had 3000 feet till the end of the runway to slow down, land, and stop. I pulled back on the stick to climb to a safer (but still pretty low) altitude to adjust flaps and pull spoilers to decrease airspeed. You NEVER want to adjust flaps or open spoilers close to the runway in ground effect. The whole process of getting the aircraft into normal landing configuration was very quick in this video, and had I messed it up, it could have been very bad. I hope this is a good disclaimer to NOT try to imitate things you see online in your own flying. Conditions, pilot experience, locations, and equipment are always unique and I tend to get quiet when I have a lot going on and I don't say everything that I am thinking or considering. I want lots of people to become interested in gliders and soaring but not get hurt or worse. Be safe up there. Cheers, Bruno - 85W - I mean B4 :)

Chain Bear's latest video takes a look at the latest details we've seen from Formula 1 about the plans for its 2021 rules revolution - specifically the return of ground effect aerodynamics. The approach developed by Lotus towards the end of the 1970s proved so effective that it was banned after just a few years on safety grounds. Chain Bear explains how the concept works, why it was so dangerous in the past, and how its reintroduction will be managed differently to prevent a repeat of the frightening breed of cars that were produced last time around
John King explains ground effect, and what it does to your flying. This video is an excerpt from our Private Pilot Ground School & Test Prep Course: https://kingschools.com/private-pilot-ground-school-test-prep&discountcoupon=YOUT01
Hi! In this video we look at what is Ground Effect and its impact on Aircraft and Helicopters.
When an aircraft or helicopter is close to the ground during takeoff or landing, more lift is created on the wings or on the main rotor. This is because of a reduction in the wing tip vortices which has an impact on the downwash at the training edge of the wings.
These factors come together to improve the lift on the aircraft and helicopter.
What could go wrong because of this? Watch to find out!

Clever little pun, innit?
Ground effect. One of those Lotus 'inventions' that took the rest of the F1 world by storm. What had they created? How did it work? How do they copy it? But as with a lot of innovations in F1, they had too much of a good thing, and it had to be stopped. So let's look at how it all changed.

Flying in ground effect! This video explains ground effect and wingtip vortices. This is private Pilot ground lesson 14 in our free private Pilot ground course. This video explains ground effect by first explaining wingtip vortices and what causes them. We discuss wingtip vortices and how they are related to angle of attack and airspeed. We also explain how they cause wake turbulence and how we should avoid wake turbulence as pilots. We then dive into ground effect and how it is caused by wingtip vortices being disrupted as we get close to the ground. This information will help you study for the private Pilot written exam and the oral exam for your check ride. This training is intended to follow the aeronautical knowledge areas in Part 61.105 section b for single engine aircraft.

Here’s a new Private Pilot lesson on V Speeds and the Airspeed Indicator. This is definitely some good info to get you ready for the check ride and the written exam. https://youtu.be/258WHrtM2Bo
It is simply mind boggling how far a glider can fly low to the ground and stay in what is called ground effect. Ground effect is simply flying very near the ground (under one wingspan from the dirt) and magically the lift is increased and drag is decreased. If you want to know why, do a google search. :) Haha. The net effect is it seems like the glider can just keep gliding right over the ground forever. In this video the glider flew over a mile in ground effect and only lost 5 miles per hour. Please do not try to fly like this or try to recreate this experiment. It is very easy to touch down too fast (I came very close!) or overshoot the end of the runway and then not have enough energy to pull up safely and turn back and land. You will notice that I started at around 74 knots well beyond the airport property and was still flying at 70 knots indicated airspeed and only had 3000 feet till the end of the runway to slow down, land, and stop. I pulled back on the stick to climb to a safer (but still pretty low) altitude to adjust flaps and pull spoilers to decrease airspeed. You NEVER want to adjust flaps or open spoilers close to the runway in ground effect. The whole process of getting the aircraft into normal landing configuration was very quick in this video, and had I messed it up, it could have been very bad. I hope this is a good disclaimer to NOT try to imitate things you see online in your own flying. Conditions, pilot experience, locations, and equipment are always unique and I tend to get quiet when I have a lot going on and I don't say everything that I am thinking or considering. I want lots of people to become interested in gliders and soaring but not get hurt or worse. Be safe up there. Cheers, Bruno - 85W - I mean B4 :)
Ground effect is a term applied to a series of aerodynamic effects used in car design, which has been exploited to create downforce, particularly in racing cars. This has been the successor to the earlier dominant aerodynamic theory of streamlining. American racing IndyCars employ ground effects in their car's engineering and designs, similarly they are also employed in other racing series' to some extent, however Formula One for example, as well as most other racing series, primarily across Europe, use design constraints due to specific regulations (or complete bans) which affects and limits its effectiveness.
Theory
In racing cars, a designer's aim is for increased downforce and grip to achieve higher cornering speeds. A substantial amount of downforce is available by understanding the ground to be part of the aerodynamic system in question, hence the name "ground effect". Starting in the mid-1960s, 'wings' were routinely used in the design of race cars to increase downforce (this is not a type of ground effect). Designers shifted their efforts at understanding air flow around the perimeter, body skirts, and undersides of the vehicle to increase downforce with less drag than compared to using a wing.
