Effect of Increase in Angle of Dead Rise on the Hydrodynamic Qualities of a Seaplane Configuration Incorporating High Wing Loading

Description: Memorandum presenting an investigation to determine the effects of increase in angle of dead rise on the overall hydrodynamic characteristics of a seaplane having a length-beam ratio of 15 and a wing loading of 120 pounds per square foot. In general, increasing the angle of dead rise from 20 to 40 degrees and 60 degrees improved the trim limits of stability and the range of center-of-gravity positions for satisfactory take-off characteristics.
