A model of an Ekranoplan inspired large ground effect aircraft / flying boat I used to test wing aerodynamics on such vehicles - the model is full scale thus very large but since it has rather thick wings and surfaces it can be easily scaled down and printed with a regular sized printer and nozzleGround effect aircraft are heavy aircraft with relatively small wings that are only able to fly close to the ground using the ground effect (air pushed down by the wing deflected off the ground increasing the high pressure area below the wing) - with wings optimized to use this effect in order to efficiently fly taking full advantage of it - similar to a hovercraft - due to the need for a lot of flat ground these are usually designed as seaplanes and also called flying boats
