Extract

In considering the design of marine aircraft, viz., flying boats and seaplanes, an entirely separate and additional subject is brought in for investigation, and upon which there would appear to be much reserve as to definite formulations and data, etc. This subject, which I prefer to entitle “Hydrodynamics,” can become, besides interesting and absorbing, certainly most deep in its complexity, and it is realised only too well by those actually engaged in such investigations, the more that time passes and experience is gained.
