Spray Characteristics of a Powered Dynamic Model of a Flying Boat Having a Hull with a Length-Beam Ratio of 9.0

Report discusses an investigation into the spray characteristics of a twin-engine flying boat model similar to the Boeing XPBB-1 but with a modified length-beam ratio of the hull. The spray characteristics of the modified model compared favorably with the standard XPBB-1 flying boat and no adverse effects on spray characteristics were introduced by modifying the length-beam ratio and hull.
