20인승급 위그선 초기 개념설계

Abstract

This paper presents the primary conceptual design result of twenty-passengers class Wing-In-Ground (WIG) effect ship. As a first step, top level requirements were proposed and principal dimensions were determined. Maximum speed in ground effect condition is 150 km/h with two tons payload including passengers. Total weight is estimated at 8.5 tons with 2 tons of thrust. Hull and airfoil sections were designed and self propulsion tests were performed by radio controlled model. The free running tests show the stable smooth running attitude at designed speed. Also this radio controlled model can take-off around 0.15 meters wave height. It can be said that the top level requirement for the twenty-passengers class WIG ship is satisfied successfully. The design optimization to increase the transport efficiency is near future work.
