Abstract
Environmental aspects significantly influence the design and performance requirements of Ground Effect Machines, both commercial and military. This paper summarizes four methods of approaching the problem, all responsive to specific program goals. The application of each method is described, and results of the analyses are listed. Extension of the methodology of environmental analysis to other transportation concepts is suggested.
