Abstract
The structural configuration of a WIG comprises the same key elements as an aircraft – in particular a flying boat, see Fig. 10.1. The payload of freight or passengers is contained in a fuselage or hull. To each side are wing structures, and at the stern there will be either a single or a pair of vertical fins with rudders and a large horizontal stabiliser with elevator surfaces.
