Summary:

The results of a general tank test of a 1/6 full-size model of the hull of the P3M-1 flying boat (N.A.C.A. model 18) are given in nondimensional form. In addition to the usual curves, the results are presented in a new form that makes it possible to apply them more conveniently than in the forms previously used.

The resistance was compared with that of N.A.C.A. models 11-C and 26 (Sikorsky S-40) and was found to be generally less than the resistance of either.
