nted in tables and are summarized by a table and curve showing the distribution of maximum pressures over the float bottom. In addition, there are curves showing the manner in which water pressures act on the float bottom and approximate load distributions for hard pancake landings. APPARATUS AND… … Figure 1.—TS-1 seaplane on which the tests were conducted weight of 2,123 pounds. The weight of the research equipment used in the tests was such that it was necessary to reduce the fuel load one-half to keep the gross weight as specified. It was found that the landing speed was from 60 to 65 M. P.…
