The article presents a concept for a safety management system for WIG (Wing in Ground) objects that utilize the so-called ground effect during movement. The definition of WIG objects is provided. Basic aero- and hydrodynamic characteristics of WIG objects are presented. A method for assessing the behavior of WIG objects during operation is described. A concept for a safety assessment system for WIG objects based on accident risk assessment is presented. The structure of the system and safety measures are provided.A concept of the safety system of WIG objects using the wing in ground effect
Abstract
In the paper a concept of the safety system of WIG objects using the wing in ground effect moving above the surface is presented.
The WIG definition is introduced. The basic aero-hydro-dynamic characteristics of WIG objects are presented. The method of assessment of the WIG objects performance in operation is described. A concept of the system for assessment of safety of WIG objects based on the risk assessment is presented in the paper. The system structure and safety measures are given. (…)
