Description
Summary:This study is prepared as an analysis on potential application and commercialization of the wing-in-ground effect craft (WIGE craft) as a new transportation system for domestic market. The analysis on potential of application and commercialization of WIGE craft would constitute a basis for making a decision as to whether or not to invest in a further development effort. The conducted analysis can be also considered as a "feasibility study", which in this case has been based on comparison of certain key features of a WIGE craft with those of other existing transportation vehicles that remain offering services as the "proven" alternative concepts. During the process of study, it has been found that a WIGE craft may fill in the gap between air-crafts and marine vehicles in terms of technological and operational advantages. Nevertheless, it can be stated that the development of a WIGE craft may give invaluable advantages in the development of new concept and technology.
