Summary:

This note presents the results of a series of tests made in the N.A.C.A. tank on a one-sixth full-size model of the hull and side flots of the Navy P3M-1 flying boat for the purpose of finding a method of reducing the amound of spray thrown into the propellers of this craft when taking off and landing.

The model was tested without spray strips and with five different spray-strip arrangements. The best arrangement was an improvement over the bare hull with no spray sprips, but the improvement was not sufficient to be satisfactory with the propellers in the designed position.
