The Landing Stability of a Powered Dynamic Model of a Flying Boat with a 30 deg V-Step and with Two Depths of Transverse Step

Abstract

Hydrodynamic tests were made in an NACA tank of a powered dynamic model of a four-engined long-range flying boat with a 30 deg V-step and two different transverse steps of comparable positions and depths. Results of these tests indicated that similar landing stability is obtained with a 30 deg V-step and a transverse step having the same depth as the 30 deg step at the keel. Detailed results are presented graphically.
