Towing tests of models as an aid in the design of seaplanes

NASA Technical Reports Server (NTRS) · 1932 · 5 pictures

A 1932 NACA-style technical report from the NASA Technical Reports Server on towing tank tests of scale seaplane models, used to guide hull and float design. The pictures are engineering graphs plotting model moment and resistance against speed for several elevator angles, with a designer taking away the way resistance humps and moment curves shift as angle of attack changes.
