WIG SHIP: WING IN GROUND EFFECT SHIP (WIG SHIP) is a ship that slides on the surface at high speed, and is caused by the air trapped under the main wing when the main wing hangs around the surface (about 2-3 meters). It uses the effect of increasing the lift without increasing the drag by using the sleep effect. It is a high speed marine transportation system with excellent transportation efficiency because it flies in a more stable state than existing ships or aircrafts. (PAR: POWER AUGMENTED RAM) Or, air flotation is used, and most of them are used in inland sea or in the sea without waves such as rivers and lakes.

Patent Application No. 2001-61827 (2001.10.08) by the applicant of the present invention there is a prior art that has been applied for a patent registration of the "three-wire linear wig wire having a minimum repair cross section", as shown in Figures 1 to 3 attached same. Here, FIG. 1 is a front view of the wig line, FIG. 2 is a side view of the wig line, and FIG. 3 is a plan view of the wig line. The conventional invention is for distributing the output of the waterborne and flying propellers and is attached to the main wing 3. In addition to the water propulsion system (5,5 '), a main propulsion device (6) is additionally attached to the upper part of the stern body (1') of the main body (1), and the auxiliary body (2.2 ') is the main body. (1) The structure is provided in a lower position.

In addition, Korean Patent No. 10-0702446, filed and registered by the present applicant, discloses a slide type 20 seater wig wire which improves the resistance performance, such as stable completion and Hangzhou performance, by minimizing the harmonic resistance and the additional resistance in the waves.

By the way, the automatic navigation system is not known in Korea for the above-mentioned wig ships, but a manual navigation system using a conventional ship navigation system and an airplane navigation system has been used.

Although autopilot systems are currently manufactured for aircraft or general ships, there are currently no aeronautical marine autopilot systems for high speed vessels. Autopilot for ships is manufactured and sold by companies such as Kongsberg Norcontrol Systems and TOKIMEC in Japan, and is a universal system for large aircraft. As the need for ultra high speed ships, which are intermediate between aircraft and general ships, has emerged, the development of auto pilot systems for high speed ships has emerged.

Unlike high-speed vessels, such as the Wig ship, it is important to secure excellent self-stability for the safety of crew and passengers in high-speed vessels, and it is essential to install a stable automatic flight control system. . In addition, unlike a general ship, a super high speed ship requires a control device for a lift key, an auxiliary wing, a direction key, etc. and requires automatic correction of a route by GPS, but there is no system applicable to the current. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of an autopilot optimized for high speed lines.

And, the optimized route of the high speed boat is different from that of a normal ship or airplane. Intermediate high speed vessels such as WIG require the calculation and operation control of the appropriate route because the optimum route is changed by environmental factors different from ship or airplane.

Based on this basic system, the present invention configures each automatic control system for the lifting keys, auxiliary wings, and direction keys of high speed vessels such as WIG, sets the optimum route corresponding to the high speed lines, and stably controls / induces them. To provide a system for doing so.

The present invention connects a speedometer, a level gauge, an altimeter, an elevator, an electronic compass, a wind gauge, an anemometer, a lift key, an auxiliary wing, a direction key, and the like, and converts an electrical signal into a digital system and periodically transmits the converted signal to a computer. The goal was to develop a program that allows the transmitted data to be displayed on the screen in real time.

In addition, in order to reduce weight, which is the biggest problem of the high-speed boat, the existing driving and auxiliary various measurement systems are replaced by electronic processing and computer-based technology, and comprehensive situation control is enabled to promote safety and convenience of operation.
