The article presents approaches to designing a WIG vehicle with specified maneuvering characteristics and a wide operating speed range for level flight. Providing the maneuverability mounts challenges to operational range of angles of attack and lift coefficients. The aerodynamic design of a WIG vehicle meeting the requirements is proposed.
Key words: a WIG vehicle; maneuverability; a lift coefficient; aerodynamic design.
