Hydrofoil Studies and Preliminary Design Data.
Abstract
It is the objective of this study to obtain and analyze available data on the subject of hydrofoils, to make necessary calculations, obtain necessary experimental data toward the end of determining the desirability and applicability of hydrofoils to surface vessels and, if and as the studies warrant, to assemble and present in practical usable form engineering and scientific data to be used as a basis for the preliminary design of surface vessels. The contract target requirement of obtaining maximum lift-drag ratio is a governing objective of all of the studies.
