Hydrodynamic Directional Behavior of a Swept Planing-Tail Hull
Description:
"A qualitative investigation of the low-speed directional behavior of a swept planing-tail hull was made in the Langley tank no. 2 in still water and still air with the use of a free self-propelled model. The configuration was directionally unstable over a range of low speed. It was, however, directionally controllable at all speeds by use of the rudder and elevator. Several modifications that were investigated did not improve the controllability" (p. 1).
