An investigation was made of a 1/10-scale dynamically similar model of the Grumman FgF-2 airplane to study its behavior when ditched. The model was landed in calm water at the Langley Tank No. 2 monorail. Various landing attitudes, speeds, and configurations were investigated. The behavior of the model was determined from visual observations, acceleration records, and motion-picture records of the ditchings. Data are presented in tabular form, sequence photographs, time-history acceleration curves, and plots of attitude and speed against distance after contact.
