An investigation was made to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of three planing-tail flying-boat hulls which differed only in the amount of step fairing. The hulls were derived by altering the step and afterbody of a conventional flying-boat hull having a transverse step.
An exact solution of the problem of designing an airfoil with a prescribed velocity distribution on the suction surface in a given uniform flow of an incompressible perfect liquid is obtained by replacing the boundary of the airfoil by vortices. By this device, a method of solution is developed, which is applicable both to isolated airfoils and to airfoils in cascade. The conformal transformation of the designed airfoil into a circle can then be obtained and the velocity distribution at any angle of attack computed. Numerical illustrations of the method are given for the airfoil in cascade.
An investigation was made to determine the reduction in drag that could be obtained for a conventional-type flying-boat hull by means of aerodynamic refinements. For comparisons, tests were made on a streamline body simulating the fuselage of a modern transport airplane.
A wind-tunnel investigation was made to determine the effect of length-beam ratio on the aerodynamic characteristics of a family of flying-boat hulls in the presence of a wing. The hulls were designed to have approximately the same hydrodynamic performance with respect to spray and resistance characteristics regardless of length-beam ratio.
The Congressional Record is the official record of the proceedings and debates of the United States Congress. It is published daily when Congress is in session. The Congressional Record began publication in 1873. Debates for sessions prior to 1873 are recorded in The Debates and Proceedings in the Congress of the United States (1789-1824), the Register of Debates in Congress (1824-1837), and the Congressional Globe (1833-1873)
