Characteristics of a Boat Type Seaplane During Take-off
This is a 1926 technical report on the take-off behaviour of a boat-hulled seaplane, issued through the NASA Technical Reports Server from an earlier aeronautical research series and written for engineers and test pilots. Its pictures are plain line charts of airspeed, waterspeed and planing angle plotted against seconds from throttle opening, a side-elevation drawing of the hull with dimensions, and a photograph of a yaw-vane mount on a biplane wing; a designer could draw on their clean grid layouts and measured drawing style for diagrams.
