An i;~vostigation of tho offoct of changes in tho length-beam ratio of flying-boat hulls on resistance and A fanny of cpray was ccriducted in I?ACA tank no. 1. three models of hulls of different length-beam ratios was hull sizes, the used and, in order to maintain comparable plan-form areas of the hulls were made approxi,fiately equal by keeping equal products of len~th and beam. tests were mnde by the gen~ral uothod for the fixed-trim condition ha WS1l as by ths specific method for the free-to-trim condition. Iholographs of the spray Beei6tance and were taken during the free-to-trim tests. trimniag-no:.lent data ~btalned from the tests were compared over a wide rande of leads at best-trim and free-tctrim conditions. Further co~parisons were medo by means of take -off calculations for hypothetical flying %oats that incorporated the liaes of the models. The spray photographs indicnted that at very low speeds the height of the bow spray was reduced by lncreaeing the length-beam ratio, but at high speeds the height of the spray was increased slightly by increasing the length-beam ratio. It was concluded from the rasult~ of the tests that by Increasing the length-beam ratio the load coefficiant may be increased and that, within the rango of the teste, high length-b~am ratios will give lower hump resistance and better take-off performance than low length-beam ratios.

At boat trim, tho dnta indloate that incroa~ing tho length-boom ratio from 5.23 to 6.54 (by longthonlng the hull) would causo a rc!latlvoly largo incroaso in A/E nt the hump and tkit a further iEof 7.84 would Incronso A/Ii by a lcssGr croaso 50 a TFLIUO remount.

It is b~lio~~h thct th~sc t~~nds would kold true for hulls ~porating at t)ia cozditlons of tha test but, hccause of tho dogcndonco upon tho location of tho center of gravity, tho treads ine-loatcd by tho free-to-trim data might not a?ply in other cfiscs. A cornpnrison of tho cu.rvos of figure 34(n) shows that Increasing the loagth of a Lull similar to modol i44 (without changing the beam) would result In n reduction of AIR ut spQeds nonr g~t-awfiy. This trend appears to remain constant th~oughout the ranga of length-beam ratio from 5.23 to 7.84 and, inasmuch as increasing the length of the forobod;r c~nnot bn cxpsctod to ohan~e the wetted area when the hull is planlnfi ats.high speed, tho inoroaso in roiistanco MF,y be &ttributed to tho iacrensed length of the afterbo&y. The effects of chnnging length and %enm on rosistmnce may be sucnmrizod as follow~: Increasing beam alone or length aloao increases A/R at tho hump speed and decroas~s A/I? at high pl=ning speeds; increasing lengthboaQ ratio without chnnging tho plan-form area increases AIR at the hump and cncses little chnngo In z@ at high planing spaods.
