Other examples

There are a loooot of them.

To collect all WIGs will be very hard. So i give you here several projects of the past who were tested.

If you have additional info about one of these projects, please, tell me. I will add it to this page.

Reverse delta (Lippisch variants)

Le Navion / build by Serge Pennec

Wingship

Discovery Channel episode of the WSH500 WingShip

Flarecraft

Flarecraft had not such a fine history. I read the following on youtube "This Connecticut based firm is headed by Bill Russell who has aquired the rights from Fischer Flugmechanik to distribute the Airfish 3 in the USA. While the Airfish 3 was there for demonstration purposes, the Flarecraft 370 was developed which was a copy of the Airfish. For this craft there is no licence agreement with either FF or RFB. Later the L-325 was developed, which is essentially a scaled up Airfish. Flarecraft has produced a limited number of L-325's and has also sold some.

This is not a Lippisch craft but a illegal and bad copy of Airfish 3 by German invetntors Hanno Fischer and Klaus Matjasic, both assistants of Alexander Lippisch at RFB company."

Both comments were placed by Youtuber @flightboat .

On the forum Homebuiltairplanes.com Orion wrote: "On a smaller vehicle like the failed Flarecraft you will then have a tendency to overpower the craft, which can greatly destabilize the vehicle (long story here and not a very pretty one)."

Tandem

CLICK THE PICTURE too see a Youtube about this one.

Universal Hovercrafts TW-1 Tandem Wing

ORION of the Homebuiltairplanes.com -forum tell this about this video:

"It is a model (the boat in the video is the chase boat with the radio operator in it). Furthermore, it is a model made out of very light styrofoam artboard sheets and as such, it has totally unrealistic behavior and performance, scale or otherwise. Also, when it comes to ground effect flight, canards tend to be very destabilizing except in extreme ground effect craft such as the tandem wing concept developed by Jorg."
