4. Wing-in-ground Effect (WIG) crafts are an emerging technology that provide
surface transportation over water, with shared characteristics of both air and marine
crafts, in terms of speed, cost, maintenance, and payload capacity.
Often known by alternative names:
EKRANOPLAN - Russian term
WISE – wing-in-surface effect
GEM – ground-effect machines
IMO (International Maritime Organization)
Classification of Ground-effect Craft:
- Type A: Capable only of operating in ground effect.
- Type B: Able to temporarily increase height above ground effect, but maintains
flight in ground effect.
- Type C: Capable of sustained operation out of ground effect (aircraft).
