Abstract

In order to increase the lift capability and/or to reduce take-off speed of a wing-in-ground effect craft, it is necessary to increase the lift coefficient of the wing in the ground effect. For this purpose, screening tests were conducted by applying various methods of lift enhancement to a ground-effect wing model. A lift coefficient of nealy 2 was obtained with a slotted airfoil system consisting of three slots and four airfoil elements. Longitudinal stability was recognized as an important factor.
