Those two first planes does not at all look like WW2-era aircraft.

Actually, not any of them do.

Who let Xilon near the Internet again?

:) :) :)

RedToo.

None are.

196...

And showing quite some restraint, for not posting the ecranoplan, the Kaspian Seamonster

the second-last one has german markings on it.

/serious

First 2 are models, maybe a kit bash to make a cool looking fantasy airplane.

All that after that are American and German homebuilt "ground effect" craft.
While they could "hop" over obstacles up to 100~150 ft high, they are pretty much stuck to float just above the ground.

The Russians actually spent huge sums for military use examples, the "sea monsters", but AFAIK they where all prototypes.

The last to pictures show the "Bodeneffektfahrzeug" Rhein-Flugzeugbau RFB-114 (X-114). It was constructed in the 1970's for the german Ministry of Defense, based on a concept by Alexander Lippisch. First flight of the prototype was in April 1977. The X-114 had 6 seats and was powered by a 200 HP Lycoming engine. During the flight tests it shows a good and economic performance (endurance ca. 20 hrs, range 2.000 km, vmax 200 km/h). But the only prototype crashed during a test flight and the whole project was stopped.

And all about as WW2 as my a$$.


...which was born in 1980, I should add.
