Hello,
my new project is for a WIG, ground effect plane, and i was wondering what airfoild anyone could recomend me?
i dont think a symetrical would work so i was thinking semi or flatbotom and if anyone has any specific ones that would be great too.
thanks

heres a pic of one type of WIG.
aerofoils seam to be undercambered and at a high AoA to trap air and force it under the trailing edge keeping the plane on its bubble of air, the aide plates obvisiouly stop it escaping out the sides.
If you want a plane style wig a Flarecraft style would be best. http://www.sfgate.com/hypertek/9703/flarecraft.shtml
a very simple type sits more or less on the water and uses a speed 400 to lift is just off the surface http://www.du-groundeffect.com/wig.html
