SURVEY ON SEAPLANE HYDRO-SKI DESIGN TECHNOLOGY. PHASE 2: QUANTITATIVE STUDY

Abstract

The report covers the second part of a two-phase survey and analysis of hydro-ski seaplane technology. It contains quantitative correlations and parametric analyses of significant data used to define optimum hydro-ski size, ski location with respect to the strut and aircraft, ski and strut resistance, ski loads and load factors in waves, strut attachment to the aircraft, effects of strut size and length, and ski installation weight.
