SUBSTANCE: invention relates to ground-effect machines designed for transportation by air, water, snow and landing in hard-to-reach no-runway areas along with vertical take-off and landing on water and ground. The vehicle incorporates a primary propulsive propeller engine arranged at its front and an auxiliary propulsive propeller engine fitted on the bearing traverse at its rear. The said auxiliary engine is arranged to turn its axis about the primary engine axis.
