Hello fellow seaplane enthusiasts,
Just wanted to present my first "show and tell¨ in this forum
I'm making progress on programming a "Static Displacement Calculator for Flying Boat Hulls", or for pontoon floats. The intent of this program is to determine the equilibrium/trimmed draft and pitch angle of any hull for a given weight and CofG position.
I started working on this because I wanted to understand how my hull/fuselage design would sit in the water, without actually building a prototype. The results are good and have been verified using simple shapes and manual calculation.
I've attached a few pictures to show the output, which is a picture answer of my original question, "how will my hull float?"
