The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), often called drones, are vehicles wherein the entire control and piloting is carried out remotely, with no pilot on board. The size and weight of the unmanned aircraft system (UAS) for the control of different categories of UAV vary by several orders of magnitude along with those of the vehicles themselves. Mid‐wing and low‐wing small‐sized UAVs (SUAVs) are much less common because they result in reductions in static stability and exhibit difficulties in landing, solutions for which complicate the overall design. For many tasks executed by modern UAVs, it is necessary to ensure performances adequate for maintaining flight modes and flight paths that result in the vehicles reaching the required points on their routes and completing their missions. The Wing‐in‐ground‐effect (WIG) is an interesting and peculiar physical phenomenon with multilateral characteristics, having both positive and negative influences on flight in WIG‐mode.
