Hydrodynamic Tests of Models of Seaplane Floats
A 1935 NASA technical report of hydrodynamic tank tests on scale models of seaplane floats, compiled for aeronautical engineers and naval designers. The pages show float hull cross-sections with station numbers and dimension tables, plus line graphs of resistance, trim angle and drag coefficients plotted against speed ratio. A designer might take from them the clean grid-plotted chart style, labelled curve families and precise technical drawing of boat-like hull profiles.
