Abstract:
A multi-hull seaplane configured to eliminate most porpoising modes (only the low angle planing remains) by separating the forward and aft hulls and staggering them transversely so as the water flow from the forward hulls does not strike the rear hulls at planing speeds thereby eliminating afterbody induced porpoising. The forward and aft hulls are offset laterally with possible vertical offset and longitudinally to maintain lateral and longitudinal stability over all speed regimes.
