A Complete Tank Test of a Model of Flying-boat Hull - N.A.C.A. Model 16
A 1933 NASA technical report of tank tests on a scale model of a flying-boat hull, the N.A.C.A. Model 16, prepared for aeronautical researchers studying seaplane hydrodynamics. The pictures are plotted graphs of resistance and trimming moment against speed in feet per second, with curves labelled by trim angle and load, giving a designer little visual material beyond the grid-and-curve vocabulary of technical charts.
