Abstract
A method has been developed for predicting the full-scale performance
of the heave motion characteristics of the C.A.B. Surface
Effect Ship under certain operating conditions. A simplified
heave-only model is used to demonstrate the procedure of scaling
model dimensions to full-sized craft and is validated using the
6-D.0.F. Leads and Motion Program for the 100-B craft. The results of scaling the heave-only model to a 3 K ton craft is also presented.
