N2 - This paper presents an experimental study to characterize the aerodynamic properties of Wing-in-Ground (WIG) Craft under complex ground effects caused by highly dynamic sea wave surfaces. To experimentally assess the aerodynamic performances of a WIG craft under controlled wave conditions, a robotic wave morphing surface (RWMS) was designed and developed, capable of generating surface waves of various lengths, heights, and frequencies. To demonstrate the RWMS system, a series of wind tunnel experiments were conducted, such as particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) measurements, to characterize the aerodynamic properties of a NACA 0012 airfoil model mounted over the RWMS under different wind and wave conditions.
