Theory of the Landing Impact of Seaplanes
A 1930 technical report on the landing impact of seaplanes, issued through NASA's Technical Reports Server from aeronautical research of its era and written for engineers and aircraft designers. Its pictures are plain, measured records: a chart of ocean pressure curves plotted against angle, a dense oscilloscope-style trace of repeated impact spikes, and a photograph of a wooden test rig with numbered gauges, useful to a designer wanting period scientific graphics with grid lines, hand-lettered labels and raw instrument character.
