Tank Tests of a Model of a Flying-boat Hull Having a Longitudinally Concave Planing Bottom

NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) · 1935 · 5 pictures

This is a 1935 NACA technical report of tank tests on a scale model of a flying-boat hull with a longitudinally concave planing bottom, published by the NASA Technical Reports Server for aeronautical engineers and researchers. The pages are graph sheets of resistance and trimming moment against speed in feet per second, with curves labelled by load in pounds and a caption reading Resistance and trimming moment, angle of trim. A designer could take from them the restrained, engineering-plot look of dense grid paper, labelled curve families and small-type captions as a graphic motif.
