Abstract

WIG vehicles have gained ground in the last decade due to bureaucratic and technological barriers lifted thanks to the developments in the control engineering. These crafts can offer an economical transportation over the sea with their natural ability to use air like a cushion but there is still some enhancement to be made in terms of their efficiency. This paper deals with an efficiency augmenting method and proposes a twisted wing in ground proximity to improve lift-drag ratio. The analyses executed via CFD look promising to enhance the efficiency of these crafts' wings.
