Things are somewhat better for fuselage shaping

[edit]

Should that be "wings" instead of "things?"

Boating wave drag?

[edit]

Anyone want to chip in with some boating related wave drag info? I'm working over hull speed right now, and have linked to this article. There's some good source info at http://www.geocities.com/greglocock/hullres.htm and http://www.dynagen.co.za/eugene/hulls/ if anyone wants to start working on it. scot 15:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It would be better to start a separate article on wave drag on objects in water, which is not due to formation of shock waves but because of ripples (waves) on the surface of water. Having both the under the same article would mean that one has to generalize the introduction to a point where it can lead to confusion. -Myth (Talk) 23:04, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
