PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF MODEL 4958 REPRESENTING A PLANING TYPE 63-FOOT AIRCRAFT RESCUE BOAT,

Abstract

Tests using TMB Model 4958 were made to determine the performance characteristics of a V-bottom 63-foot Aircraft Rescue Boat. Model speed, resistance, trim, and wetted length were measured throughout the speed range for a number of hull loadings, initial trim conditions, and with all appendages. Tests with and without appendages were conducted for the TMB standard condition for planing boats and test data for that condition are presented in nondimensional form. Change in trim and ehp are presented in terms of full-scale speed in knots. (Author)
