A brief survey is presented of the aerodynamic phenomena associated with jet-lift aircraft in ground effect. The particular problems of modelling the ground vortex formed by impinging jets in cross-flows are then described, in the light of the authors' own experimental studies. Finally, areas of these flow fields exhibiting stochastic properties are highlighted.
