When I said flying ground effect was most efficient use of battery power, that was a reference to the REGENT Seaglider, which is an electric boat that flies ground effect... uh doesn't that mean it's not a boat? Apparently it's a "boat" for legal reasons:

High Efficiency: The ground effect drastically reduces aerodynamic drag, allowing for extended battery range and lower energy use

Zero Emissions: 100% battery-electric propulsion eliminates direct carbon emissions and reduces noise pollution compared to conventional gas or turbine engines.

Regulatory Classification: Because they operate entirely within the ground effect and in close contact with water terminals, they are often classified and regulated as marine vessels rather than complex commercial aircraft, simplifying certification.

Best way to pass a class is to go out drinking with the professor after class! Actually, a strange thing happened to me as I was about the graduate -- the professors started treating me like a human being, and we could have friendly conversations as peers. After "four years prostrate to the higher mind", being treated like an equal was... weird.
