Tank Tests of Two Floats for High-speed Seaplanes
This NACA technical note from 1933, issued by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics for aeronautical engineers and researchers, reports tank tests of two seaplane float models at high speed. The plates pair line drawings of the float hull, with half-breadth, profile and body plan views, against graphed resistance, trim angle and rise curves plotted against speed in feet per second. A designer could draw on the clean technical line work and the sparse grid-plot layouts for diagrammatic, measured-data imagery.
