3. A collection of the collapsed results of general tank tests of miscellaneous flying-boat-hull models

Author

Locke, F W S , Jr

Abstract

Presented here are the summary charts of the collapsed results of general tank tests of about 100 flying boat hull models. These summary charts are intended to be used as an engineering tool to enable a flying boat designer to grasp more quickly the significance of various hull form parameters as they influence his particular airplane. The form in which the charts are prepared is discussed in some detail in order to make them clearer to the designer. This is a data report, and no attempt has been made to produce conclusions or correlations of the usual sort. However, some generalizations are put forward on the various methods in which summary charts may be used.

Abstract

A study was made of the performance of a typical proposed merchant ship. It is concluded, as a result of the study, that suitable research might develop a hull having 10% less drag. It is indicated that a propeller for such a ship could be built with an efficiency of at least 15% more than present propellers. The methods whereby these conclusions were reached are presented in some detail. (Author), Presented to the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers Meeting, Baltimore, Md., 19 Mar 49. Revision of report dated Feb 49.
