Variation of Hydrodynamic Impact Loads With Flight-Path Angle for a Prismatic Float at 6 Degrees and 9 Degrees Trim and a 22-1/2 Degree Angle of Dead Rise
Description:
Report discusses the results of testing "to determine the relationship between impact normal acceleration and flight-path angle for seaplanes landing in smooth water" (from Summary). The tests were done at high and low forward speeds and trims at 6 degrees and 9 degrees, a 22.5 degree angle of dead rise, and a gross weight of 1100 pounds. Information about the forces acting on the aircraft and maximum depth of immersion and trim is provided.
