Recent Developments in the Hydrodynamic Design of Flying–Boats*

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  28 July 2016

Extract

During the past few years numerous developments in the hydrodynamic design of flying-boats have been brought about mainly by systematic model research. Although Germany deserves the credit for initiating research on the forces on planing plates and Vee wedges, we are indebted to various estabhshments in the U.S.A. for the multiplicity of data on both flying-boats and simple planing surfaces, which are now available.
