Brad, The hull was designed with Osbourne Reynolds kept prominantly in mind. Our hull spent a year in a water tunnel untill we finally were happy with trailing edge and boundary characteistics. The wing sail is a NACA 0012 aerofoil section. I have added some of the test data especially the reynolds seperation, from our tests, as well images of our scaled hull model to the album for your perusal.
As far as getting to the water. We plan to disassemble the craft and transport it by road. As per our last estimate that is about 7 trailers worth of material. It should be quite a convoy, dismembered catamaran parts and a bunch very very nervous astrophysicists. --- Brad Altemeyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Dear Dj, > > That is some big cat in the photos, I'm sure you've > already noted that you can use Reynolds numbers for > the foils (air and water) for calculations.
