| Description | Journal: Iop Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering Wing in-ground effect (WIG) crafts are becoming promising transportation over the last decade. However, stability and control problems faced by the WIG in earlier development are still unresolved. This paper objectively investigates the lateral stability of wing in ground effect craft. The wing encompasses a winglet at the end of the wingtip. Lift, drag and pressure were measured with the respect of the heeling angle of $10^{0}$, $15^{0}$ and $20^{0}$, respectively, with the h/c of 0.3. Initial results from the computational studies show that the ground effect pressure distributions provide a natural righting moment when the WIG craft heels near ground. This initial result provides an insight to understand the current state of knowledge of stability for WIG, particularly on transverse or lateral stability of WIG where it plays important roles in the safety aspect. It is crucial to understand the stability and its component in order to avoid any unforeseen accident. This paper discusses the results obtained from the numerical studies. |
