Recent experiments with large seaplanes
A 1926 NACA technical memorandum compiled by the NASA Technical Reports Server, presenting experimental results from large seaplanes for aeronautical engineers and researchers. The pages are numbered plates of photographs and diagrams: a large flying-boat hull and wing, seaplanes on the ground and in the water, interior structural bracing, and an axis diagram of aircraft motion angles. For a designer, the photographs offer strong examples of early aircraft structure, with braced wings, boat-like hulls and rigid frames worth studying for line and form.
