Comparison of Over-all Impact Loads Obtained During Seaplane Landing Tests with Loads Predicted by Hydrodynamic Theory
This NACA technical report from 1949, issued by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, compares measured impact loads from seaplane landing tests against predictions from hydrodynamic theory, written for aeronautical engineers and researchers. Its pictures show an instrumented cabin interior with recording equipment, a hull station plan with marked gauge positions, paired graphs of displacement and normal load over time with theoretical and experimental curves, and a large flying boat on a runway, offering a designer scientific diagram conventions and a sober technical palette.
