소형 민군겸용 위그선 개념설계

Abstract

This paper presents the primary conceptual design results of twenty-passenger 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 as 8.5 tons with 2 tons of thrust. Hull and airfoil sections were designed and self propulsion tests were performed by radio controlled model. Two planing hull forms with the transom stern were proposed and towing tests were performed. The resistance and running attitude were measured and the feasibility is checked for the prototype hull form of the twenty-passenger class WIG ship. 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 passenger class WIG ship is satisfied successfully. The design optimization to increase the transport efficiency and safety will be performed in the near future.
