Abstract
THE desired qualities for high performance in takeoff were enumerated and discussed in Part I of this article, while certain suggestions were made in Part II, whereby the limiting takeoff weight of modern seaplanes could be increased without adversely affecting the air performance. So far no reference has been made to either atmospheric or sea conditions. In this country there is, on the average, only one dead calm day every three weeks, so that in practice a takeoff is seldom made in flat calm water and in no wind. Before leaving this subject therefore it is desirable to examine the performance of a seaplane in takeoff when there is a wind and to determine the probable effect of wind on the liimting takeoff weight.
