1. EVRCDUCTICN
A full investigation was carried out some tlmc agt63on foreborty
hding impcicts of a Suaierland Nc.5 flying boat, 3s pmt 3f zi general
hvestigatiw on seq-~lane landing impxts. This first ser~cs of tests YfaS
confined to calm water only, and almost entirely to cases ylh-lherethe aftcr-
bo$r was not wetted during the xnitial qact. The results of these tests
were compared with the most recent relevant thewy (Rcf.1) z~ld the comparison
VEL~reported IXI Reference 2.
Discrcpnncies between the measured and wlcuL.ted nccclention/timo
Curves were found, in partxular the measured times to mxdmum acCCloration
were about %ice those prdicted by theory. As no explanation of this
di.smepFncy has been found a selection of the measured Jatn is given in this
rwa-t for two purposes viz.
(a) to permit ccqnrison with other thcxxcs or further invcsti@tien
c.C the appwent errors in that at' present avclilrrble x?.d
(b) to prmit 1ts use by cmpi.r~~calmcthxQ and c~mpariswis with
current design strength rccurrcments for seaplanes.
