Minesweeper hulls and speep



Carsten from Germany

hello submadmans,

some calculation about the speed of the minesweeper hulls:
With one acrylic dome on top and two deep control wings and 
two side control wings on stern (like a aircraft bomb) 
and also a small keel anda counter rotaion propellers 
also on stern this hulls will reach followings speed : 

on surface : 
2  hp =  3,8 kn 
4  hp =  4,7 kn
6  hp =  5,2 kn
8  hp =  5,7 kn
10 hp =  6,0 kn
20 hp =  7,2 kn
30 hp = 10,3 kn

on diving station: 
2  hp =  5,9 kn 
4  hp =  7,7 kn
6  hp =  8,7 kn
8  hp =  9,6 kn
10 hp = 10,2 kn
20 hp = 12,8 kn
30 hp = 14,4 kn

You can put this on a graph to get the numbers between the numbers.

greetings, Carsten
