A number of modules of the Thin Line Array were towed in the High-Speed Basin of the David W. Taylor Naval Ship R and D Center. The objectives were to verify that the drag on the array varied directly with its length and to measure the drag on a module as a function of speed. These objectives were attained. The report describes the array modules, outlines the procedure used and presents the results. The tangential drag coefficient as a function of speed is presented for both the array and the drogue. In addition, it was shown that the array does not overrun the towpoint during deceleration. Finally, some predictions are made for drag on a typical array configuration. (Author)
