Abstract
Note presenting an investigation with the aim of achieving improved hydrodynamic qualities for flying boats, which involved determining the combined effect of a warped forebody and extended afterbody on the hydrodynamic characteristics of a full having a basic length-beam ratio of 15. Results regarding longitudinal stability, landing stability, spray characteristics, and landings in waves are provided.
