The Effect of Rear Chine Strips on the Take-Off Characteristics of a High-Speed Airplane Fitted With NACA Hydro-Skis
Description:
"Results are presented from tank take-off tests of a dynamic model of a hypothetical high-speed airplane fitted with NACA hydro-skis and having the transverse curvature of the lower rear portion of the fuselage broken by small longitudinal chine strips.
