▶ WIG[WINGINGROUND] EFFECT
WIG effect or "Ground effect" is the phenomenon of increased lift and reduced aerodynamic drag of a wing flying close to a surface. [ IMOGuidelines for WIG effect ]

Ground effect is an aerodynamic principle that aircraft experience when flying close to the earth’s surface—either over ground or water. The phenomenon takes hold when operating within a distance of one wingspan from the surface. The surface alters the flow field around the wing, resulting in reduced drag and an increase in lift. In simple terms, reduced drag leads to better fuel efficiency and increased lift lets the craft carry heavier payloads.


▶ WIG CRAFT
WIG craft is a multimodal craft which, in its main operational mode, flies by using ground effect above water or some other surface, without constant contact with the surface, and is supported in the air mainly by an aerodynamic lift generated on its wing or wings or its hull, or their parts, which are designed to utilize the ground effect actio [ IMOGuidelines for WIG craft ]

● 1. The Flying Ship ARON M80 World's First Commercial WIG CRAFT
ARON: The First Flying Ship manufacturer in Korea
Starting from basic design to structural analysis, wind tunnel testing, prototyping, and commercialization, ARON has built mass production line base on 3D design that is all developed inhouse to ensure quality and reliability. The MSeries has been developed over the past 10 years that made ARON dissimilar material connection technology and vacuum infusion.

● 2. AIRFISH 8 by Wigetworks Pte Ltd.
Wigetworks Private Limited (Wigetworks) was incorporated in Singapore in April 2004. It was established with the main purposes to commercialize WinginGround (WIG) effect craft technology and to be the center of excellence of WIG technology.

The AirFish 8 (AF8) is an 810 seater WIG Craft with a 17m x 15m footprint. It is designed to be operated by 2 crew and carrying capacity for 68 passengers in standard civilian transport configuration. It is powered by a powerful yet compact V8 car engine that runs on 95 Octane automotivegrade unleaded gasolines. Airfish 8 is designed and built to adhere to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) guidelines.

● 4. The Flying Ship Company
It has taken proven Sovietera Ekranoplan technology that harnesses the aerodynamic principal of Ground Effect to create advanced, unmanned maritime shipping vehicles that fly just over the water. These patentpending Flying Ships will disrupt the global logistics industry with the combination of hybridelectric propulsion and 21st century aerodynamics. Integrating these concepts dramatically decreases vehicle cost, improves fuel efficiency and reduces CO2 emissions.

● 5. EP15 MULTIPURPOSE MARINE WIGCRAFT
AQUAS (12pax + 2crew) Midrange marine ekranoplan for highspeed passenger and cargo transportation.
RDC Aqualines Ekranoplans are newgeneration vehicles combining combining elements of aviation and marine technologies. In fact, they are highspeed vessels reaching the flight speed. The ekranoplan technology was developed in the USSR for military purposes. Nowadays RDC Aqualines implements the project for civil ekranoplan manufacturing, developes and produces commercial cargopassenger ekranoplans.

RDC Aqualines is a privately owned company, which unites several design bureaus and aircraft manufacturing factory in the format of consortium.
