Structural Design Loads and Criteria For 500 Ton Hydrofoil Ship, Bader, Mar 63 (0150)
This study discusses the factors to be considered as they would apply to the structural design of a 500-ton, 90-knot ship. A second section covers suggestions for theoretical development to obtain an understanding of the phenomenon involved. The third portion discusses full scale test craft program objectives while the final section concerns materials for the hull and hydrofoils. The program envisioned to establish design loads will pursue development of theoretical predictions with verification by full scale tests.
