Powered models of three different flying boats were landed in oncoming wave of various heights and lengths. The resulting motions and acceleration were recorded to survey the effects of varying the trim at landing, the deceleration after landing, and the size of the waves. One of the models had an unusually long afterbody. The data for landing with normal rates of deceleration indicated that the most severe motions and accelerations were likely to occur at some period of the landing run subsequent to the initial impact.

The engine operated without excessive engine noise or vibration over the entire range of operating conditions. Results regarding inlet velocity, exhaust flame characteristics, fuel-air ratio, and total-temperature rise are provided.
