INSTRUMENTATION AND STATIC CALIBRATION OF THE FOIL SYSTEMS OF THE NAVY HYDROFOIL BOAT PLAINVIEW (AG(EH)-1).

Abstract

The report describes the strain-gage installation of the foils and struts and the static calibration of the starboard and tail assemblies just prior to shipment to Seattle for final assembly on the hull. Results of the static calibrations are presented and compared to calculated strain values. The results are presented in the form of charts and tables so that they can be readily compared to full-scale data when these are available. Since the boat is still under construction, no conclusions can be drawn concerning the adequacy of the foil design, even though the calculated strains are higher than the strains measured during the static calibration for the same loading.
