Abstract
Experimental results obtained on the XR-3 Testcraft verify the hypothesis that a properly shaped bow seal face can reduce the hydrodynamic drag of a Captured Air Bubble Surface Effect Ship in the post-Hump velocity regime. Rapid raising of the lower portion of such an optimally shaped seal just prior to Secondary Hmp permits the transition a t lower than usual values of drag andlor velocity.
