| Abstract | The estimation of the drag of an air cushion vehicle (ACV) over water is a difficult process, since the total drag is due to a combination of several aerodynamic and hydrodynamic mechanisms.
This report sets out an approximate method by which total drag measured in model tests during motion in the displacement ("sub-hump”) regime through to the planing ("above-hump") regime may be extrapolated to values for the full-scale craft. |
