When a wing is moving fast near the surface, it generates a small air pocket that can be used to lift the vehicle. The Ekranoplan was a good example of this. Is it possible to implement this?

This would be super useful, since it would make it easier to land some airplanes. Though it would also make it harder to do short landings since planes would float for longer before touching down.
