SMOOTH-WATER TESTS OF MODEL 4943 REPRESENTING A 41-FOOT PERSONNEL BOAT

Abstract

Tests, using TMB Model 4943, were conducted in Langley Tank No. 1 to determine the performance characteristics of a round bilge 41-ft personnel boat. Model resistance, trim, wetted length, and CG rise were measured throughout the speed range for a number of hull loadings, initial trim conditions, and appendage configurations. Comparisons are made with the design condition. Results are presented in dimensionless form.
