FTSRAD - GEV in the 22nd Century (539 words)
The GEV used ducted fans to redirect the output of this powerful system in much the same way that the Harrier Jump Jet did in the late 20th century.
The GEVs often would still employ skirts to gain the efficiency of Ground Effect, but they were no longer necessary to keep the craft aloft.
While the GEV could probably raise itself in the same fashion as a true VTOL, it lacks the belly armor and weapon arcs to be effective in that role.

Il servizio GEV nei parchi è rivolto a controllare i flussi turistici, svolgere una azione di educazione facendo conoscere le norme di comportamento nelle aree protette, ad illustrare gli aspetti naturalistici ai visitatori, intervenire in caso di emergenze (non rare) soprattutto turisti colti da malori o infortunatisi.
Nel 1996 le GEV hanno svolto a Sassuolo 142 ore di servizio percorrendo circa 1000 2700 km e presentando 11 segnalazioni di inquinamenti alle autorità’ locali.
