Recent Davidson Laboratory basic studies of planing hull hydrodynamics have produced a wealth of technology which is not generally available to the small-boat design profession. Included are studies related to the preplaning resistance of transom-stern hulls, the effectiveness of trim control flaps, the effect of bottom warp on planing efficiency, the influence of reentrant transom forms, and the seakeeping of planing hulls. The present paper consolidates these results in a form suitable for design purposes and illustrates their application in predicting planing performance in smooth and rough water.
