  11. Re:Ground effect on Aerovelo's Human-Powered Helicopter Wins $250,000 Sikorsky Prize · · Score: 5, Informative

    With the speed those rotors are turning, I don't think there'd be much in the way of ground effects generated.

    Well, the FAA does know.

    These are small jets, BeechJet, Hawker 800 sized planes. And with 2 iPads in each cockpit I'm sure we would have seen a problem by now.
