Title: Effect of hull length-beam ratio on the hydrodynamic characteristics of flying boats in waves
Abstract: Report presenting an investigation of the take-off and landing behavior in waves of models of a hypothetical flying boat with hull length-beam ratios of 6 and 15. The flying boat had a design gross weight of 75,000 pounds, a wing loading of 41.1 pounds per square foot, and a power loading of 11.5 pounds per brake horsepower for take-off. Results regarding the landing behavior, spray characteristics, and taxiing and take-off behavior are provided.
