Summary:

A general test was made in the N.A.C.A. tank of a 1/12-size model of the hull of the British Singapore IIC flying boat loanded by the Director of Research, British Air Ministry. The results are given in charts and are compared with the results of tests of a model of an American flying-boat hull, the Sikorsky S-40. The Singapore hull has a greater hump resistance but a much lower high-speed resistance than the S-40.

The results of the tests are also compared with the results from tests of the same model that were made in the British R.A.E. tank and the agreement is found to be close where sufficient data are available to be conclusive.
