Wraps. First edition. First printing [stated]. 160 p. Includes: illustrations, diagrams, maps, bibliography. Ballantine's Illustrated History of World War II, Weapons Book No. 13. From WIkipedia: "PT boats were a variety of torpedo-armed fast attack craft used by the United States Navy in World War II to attack larger surface ships. "PT" is the US hull classification symbol for "Patrol Torpedo". The PT boat squadrons were nicknamed "the mosquito fleet". The Japanese called them "devil boats". The original pre World War I torpedo boats were designed with "displacement" hulls. The PT boats used in World War II were built using the planing-type hull form developed for racing boats. Both types were designed to strike at larger warships with torpedoes. They were much less expensive than large warships. PT boats were much faster, smaller, and cheaper than conventional (displacement hull) vessels. During World War II, American PT boats engaged enemy destroyers and other surface craft. PT boats also operated as gunboats against enemy small craft. The primary anti-ship armament was two to four Mark 8 torpedoes. Fair. Cover has wear, soiling, some edge tears and tape repair.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The tale of Crusader, the jet-powered boat of 1952, appears to be a simple one about the ambition of John Cobb and Reid Railton, two unassuming but deeply gifted men, to break the water speed record on Loch Ness only for their efforts to end in tragedy. In fact the story behind that fateful outcome Cobb's death on his first high-speed run is a complex web of clever design and inspirational endeavour mixed with personality clashes and errors of judgment. After many years of research, including access to a wealth of original documentation, Steve Holter unravels the entire saga of the ill-fated Crusader and presents a compelling detective story. - John Cobb: the modest businessman with such a thirst for speed that he wanted to become the fastest man on water as well as on wheels after setting his land speed record of 396.196mph in 1947.- Reid Railton: inspired designer and long-time friend behind Cobb's greatest speed accomplishments, notably with the Napier-Railton (holder of the lap record at Brooklands) and the Railton Mobil Special (land speed record car).- In-depth study of Railton's innovative 'three-point' hull design for Crusader, with two rear sponsons and a single 'planing shoe' at the front plus a De Havilland Ghost jet engine delivering 5,000lb of thrust.- Evolution of the design in parallel with testing of scale models, including a miniature jet-powered version evaluated near Portsmouth Harbour.- Assessment and description of boat-builder Vosper's wooden construction, under Peter Du Cane's direction.- An exhaustive account of proceedings at Loch Ness, where Cobb finally attempted a high-speed run on 29 September 1952 and achieved 206.89mph, faster than anyone had previously gone on water.- Analysis of the structural failure that destroyed Crusader and killed Cobb. Much of the story is told in the words of the key protagonists, drawing in particular on correspondence and written accounts from the key people involved, most notably John Cobb, Reid Railton and Peter Du Cane.…

OTTIME CONDIZIONI, MAI SFOGLIATO, LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DEL TEMPO. Un manuale di successo, il cui autore, architetto navale ed esperto mondiale di navigazione da diporto, ci rivela con grande perizia tutti i segreti delle imbarcazioni da diporto, dell'aerodinamica e dell'idrodinamica. L'affascinante mondo della vela nella precisa analisi di un grande architetto navale che ci illustra l'incessante progresso delle imbarcazioni da regata e da crociera e il «salto di qualità» avvenuto nel diporto nautico durante gli anni Sessanta. Si tratta di un classico tra i più esaurienti e documentati su questo interessante argomento. Dagli anni Sessanta in Italia la navigazione da diporto ha avuto un grosso incremento; tuttavia le «signore dell'acqua» sono sempre le imbarcazioni a vela, in primo luogo per l'indiscusso fascino che esercitano, poi perché permettono l'impiego di qualità sportive che impegnano costantemente l'equipaggio, e infine perché, pur nella scia della tradizione classica, hanno saputo aggiornarsi modificandosi continuamente in base alle nuove scoperte e alle moderne teorie scientifiche. Redatto da un architetto navale assai noto, che è anche un esperto mondiale di navigazione da diporto, oltre che un entusiasta sportivo, Lo sport della vela riunisce per la prima volta in un unico volume dettagliate notizie sull'aerodinamica e l'idrodinamica, la storia dello yachting, le varie tecniche, le formule di classificazione, le differenti classi, le attrezzature, le vele, il motore ausiliario, la navigazione in generale, eccetera: insomma tutto quanto concerne il diporto velico. L'opera è già stata tradotta in tedesco e in inglese ed è stata a buon diritto definita come la migliore esistente: il largo successo che ha riscosso è dovuto, tra l'altro, alla forma semplice, chiara e concisa usata dall'autore. L'edizione italiana include numerosi aggiornamenti che la rendono di grande interesse storico-nautico. Descrizione bibliografica Titolo: Lo sport della vela.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This SpringerBrief focuses on modeling and power evaluation of high-speed craft. The various power prediction methods, a principal design objective for high-speed craft of displacement, semi-displacement, and planing type, are addressed. At the core of the power prediction methods are mathematical models for resistance and propulsion efficiency. The models are based on the experimental data of various high-speed hull and propeller series. The regression analysis and artificial neural network (ANN) methods are used as an extraction tool for this kind of mathematical models. A variety of mathematical models of this type are discussed in the book.Once these mathematical models have been developed and validated, they can be readily programmed into software tools, thereby enabling the parametric analyses required for the optimization of a high-speed craft design. This book provides the foundational reference for these software tools, and their use in the design of high-speed craft. High-speed craft are very different from conventional ships. Current professional literature leaves a gap in the documentation of best design practices for high-speed craft.This book is aimed at naval architects who design and develop various types of high-speed vessels.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - High Speed Monohull and Hydrofoil Craft: Performance, Technology, and Applications provides comprehensive coverage of the basic hydrodynamics of high-speed monohulls and hydrofoil craft useful to students and engineers alike.The first half of the book introduces different hull shapes for semi-planing and planing craft with examples from their development through the last century. Succeeding chapters then describe the hydrodynamic theory behind their performance in calm water and a seaway. They also document the extensive series of model test programs naval architects use to create prediction models for resistance and powering. Electronic versions of a number of these are included for readers' use. A final chapter on monohulls looks at hull geometric form that has been developed to provide the best possible combination of resistance in waves and motion response through a combination of a deep and sharp forefoot and a hard chine cross-section towards the stern for patrol vessels and offshore logistics craft.The book's second half introduces the various geometries and planform configurations of hydrofoils under a fast craft hull. It reviews the development of these craft for inland waterways, such as major river systems, and the rougher environment of seaways, such as the Mediterranean and Atlantic oceans. It is followed by hydrofoil theory in an ideal fluid close to a free surface. Then the theory for a real fluid includes the vorticity and effect of planform, dihedral, and surface interaction. Hydrofoil craft design and analysis are covered next. Finally, there is a chapter on special configurations, such as craft having foils just at the bow and hydrofoil craft based on catamaran hulls.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The proposed book addresses various power prediction methods, a principal design objective for high-speed craft of displacement, semi-displacement, and planing type. At the core of the power prediction methods are mathematical models based on experimental data derived from various high-speed hull and propeller series. Regression analysis and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) methods are used as extraction tools for this kind of models.The most significant factors for in-service power prediction are bare hull resistance, dynamic trim, and the propeller's open-water efficiency. Therefore, mathematical modeling of these factors is a specific focus of the book. Furthermore, the book includes a summary of most of the power-prediction-relevant literature published in the last 50 years, and as such is intended as a reference overview of the best high-speed craft modeling practices.Once these mathematical models have been developed and validated, they can be readily programmed into software tools, thereby enabling the parametric analyses required for the optimization of a high-speed craft design. The proposed book is intended primarily for naval architects who design and develop various types of high-speed vessels (yachts, boats etc.), as well as for students who are interested in the design of fast vessels. The book includes useful Excel Macro Codes for the outlined mathematical models. Moreover, software for all considered models is provided.…

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. First Edition. First edition. Includes panels and flaps of original jacket, trimmed and repaired at seams and adhered to binding edges of boards. Minor pencil underlining and marginalia in text. 1946 Hard Cover. xi, 305 pp. From the jacket: This book is naval architecture's greatest challenge since ships were first built from plans. It embodies the revolutionary science of beam-length proportion in naval architecture, tested fully under the most exacting demands of war - when faulty ship designs could cost scores of lives. Of Naval Architects it asks: 'Did you know that the speed-beam ratio is the controlling factor in the speed of fast hulls?' And: 'Did you know that a speed-length ratio over 2 is mathematically impossible when applied to hulls with a tendency to planing?' Of Commercial Fishermen and Freighter Owners it asks: 'Did you know that fishing and freight boats of the future will be of planing speed, yet will carry greater loads than can traditional displacement craft which you are probably using now?' To Yachtsmen it brings this promise: 'We used to say there was no such thing as 'the best boat' - only 'the best compromise.' This is no longer true! In the naval architecture of planing hulls, the same fundamentals which create speed also produce seaworthiness, economy and beauty at the same time.' These tradition-upsetting statements are no longer theories nor descriptions of fine plans on a naval architect's drafting table. All have been tested and built into boats that proved themselves before the war and in the rigors of combat. Commissioned a Lieutenant Commander, U.S. Navy, at the outbreak of World War II, Dr. Lord was sent to the Pacific in direct charge of boat construction and the maintenance of PT's, Patrol Craft and Crash Boats. The immense volume of this work and unparalleled facilities for research and testing gave him the opportunity to organize - for the first time in ship history - planing hull data on a scientific basis. Naval Architecture of Planing Hulls succeeds in bringing science far into a realm previously dominated almost completely by art. The controversy, alone, which it will create will make it a 'must' for the personal and office libraries of every naval architect and builder; will make it required reading in every related university course of study. All who are keenly interested in boat design will be intrigued by the author's startling finding and by his highly readable style, so rarely found in professional writings. It will be appreciated most by the advanced student, experienced naval architect and builder. For them it will become the indispensable guide to Tomorrow's Naval Architecture. All problems in this book are worked out with actual examples. All formulas are reduced to charts to eliminate the need for involved computations. Procedures are clarified by more than a hundred graphic illustrations - photographs, and architect's drawings and charts prepared by the author.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - High speed catamaran and multihull high speed marine vessel have become very popular in the last two decades. The catamaran has become the vessel of choice for the majority of high speed ferry operators worldwide. There have been significant advances in structural materials, and structural design has been combined with higher power density and fuel efficient engines to deliver ferries of increasing size. The multihull has proven itself to be a suitable configuration for active power projection across oceans as well as for coastal patrol and protection, operating at high speedd for insertion or retrieval with a low energy capability. At present there is no easily accessible material covering the combination of hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, and design issues including structures, powering and propulsion for these vehicles. Coverage in High Speed Catamarans and Multihulls includes an introduction to the history, evolution, and development of catamarans, followed by a theoretical calculation of wave resistance in shallow and deep water, as well as the drag components of the multihull. A discussion of vessel concept design describing design characteristics, empirical regression for determination of principal dimensions in preliminary design, general arrangement, and methods is also included. The book concludes with a discussion of experimental future vehicles currently in development including the small waterplane twin hull vessels, wave piercing catamarans, planing catamarans, tunnel planing catamarans and other multihull vessels. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The use of Interceptor on both planing or semiplaning crafts has been widespread for some time now. It has always been considered as an alternative to flaps and there is large evidence in literature about its higher effectiveness. The interceptor consists of a thin plate jutting out of the craft of a percentage generally between 1.5 and 4 of the LWL and it's located on the sternmost part of the bottom. Its role is to exert an overpressure able to lift the stern and consequently to change the trim. It's often used as regular device on crafts sailing at a low relative speed and as a movable device on speed boats. Although already quite widespread, there is no sound evidence in literature reporting a quantitative evaluation of the advantages of the use of Interceptors, in terms of hull resistance. The work carried out for this thesis conveys a great number of experimental data based on the variation of speed, trim, displacement, deadrise angle, considering different dimensions of the device. Furthermore, new geometries of interceptors are proposed that have lead to significant results. 144 pp. Englisch.…
