Yer effect is defined as the change in flight characteristics of aircraft or flying organisms when they fly close to the surface. This condition reduces drag while increasing lift. This force is typically felt up to a height equal to one wingspan. Effect of Ground Effect on Flight Characteristics 1. Takeoff During takeoff, ground effect provides additional lift to aircraft due to air compressed beneath the wings. This reduces the required takeoff distance. 2. Turns and Maneuvers Ground effect fa
