Method makes use of 2-dimensional water mass variation and aspect ratio correction for 3-dimensional flow; equations derived lead to impact coefficients that depend on approach parameter which, in turn, depends upon initial trim and flight path angles; comparison with theory is shown at maximum load and penetration for flat bottom model with beam loading coefficients from 36.5 to 133.7.
