Bibliography and Review of Information Relating to the Hydrodynamics of Seaplanes
Description:
Report presenting a bibliography and review of information related to the hydrodynamics of seaplanes. Characteristics of conventional hulls and floats are discussed to show the effects upon performance of changes in design parameters like dead rise, depth of step, and angle of afterbody keel. Other topics include floats, lateral stabilizers, aerodynamic and propulsive considerations, unconventional configurations, hydrofoils, and piloting and handling.
