Preliminary Tank Investigation of the Use of Single Monoplane Hydrofoils for High-Speed Airplanes
Report presenting an investigation of the hydrodynamic take-off and landing characteristics of a model of a hypothetical jet- and rocket-propelled high-speed airplane fitted with various designs of a single monoplane hydrofoil mounted near the center of gravity. This testing is performed to determine the feasibility of the water-based operation of high-speed airplanes. Results regarding the general hydrodynamic characteristics, development of hydrofoils, and effects of some hydrofoil parameters are provided.
