Twin Cushion Surface Effect Vehicle Head Sea Regular Wave Seakeeping Experiment.

Abstract

Model experiments were performed to determine the head sea regular wave seakeeping characteristics of a Twin Cushion Surface Effect Vehicle. Experimental values of wave height, drag, cushion pressures and rigid body motions and accelerations are presented in graphical and tabular form. (Author)
