Summary:

N.A.C.A. model 36, a hull form with parallel middle body for half the length of the forebody and designed particularly for use with stub wings, was tested according to the general fixed-trim method over the range of practical loads, trims, and speeds. It was also tested free to trim with the center of gravity at two different positions. The results are given in the form of nondimensional coefficients.

The resistance at the hump was exceptionally low but, a high planing speeds, afterbody interference made the performance only mediocre.
