Recent technical developments in the field of hydrodynamic sustentation, resulting from the unique techniques associated with the free-body testing of self-propelled dynamically similar models, has resulted in a great resurgence of interest in the use of water-based aircraft in the National Defence. This paper describes some of the more important aspects of this research and discusses possible trends in military water-based aircraft development. In addition to the military applications of the new high-speed hydrodynamic developments, consideration is given to the development of transonic water-based transport designs. Since the days of the famous flying-boat clippers, over-ocean transport has all but succumbed to the faster landplane. It is shown that an all-jet water-based transport, incorporating unusual safety and performance, is now a practical and logical development.
