Tests of the hydrodynamic configuration optimization of the lines, perfection of the local [areal] hydrodynamics of the sea-based planes


 This work is traditional for TsAGI. It provides the calculation and experimental (tow basin, tow-powerboat, catapult, high-speed stand and other facilities and stands) research, forecast of the hydrodynamic, nautical and takeoff-and-landing characteristics, and development of the conceptual layout arrangement. The arrangements of almost all Russian amphibious aircrafts, ekranoplans or ground effect vehicles (GEV), float-type aircrafts were treated on the hydrodynamic stands. The most significant Department achievements in recent years are connected with the developing of the amphibious aircrafts A-40 Albatros, BE-103, BE-200, BE-101 of the Taganrog Center of Research and Technology named after G. M. Beriev (TANTK Beriev). For the water bomber BE-200 TsAGI developed the unique system of skimming, which replenishes the aircraft’s fire-fighting system at a 50-70 km/s gliding speed [aquaplaning].
