I don’t know why but I love amphibious vehicles. They are just flat-out cool. I got a chance to look at one the Army had, but we didn’t use it for water. It was tasked to go into an NBC zone and run tests if we had to (because it could be sealed.) I wouldn’t want that job!

No prob. Glad to do so. Been doing this particular project for the last three years. Check out the links at the site linked in the header of the thread for complete sites on Aircraft Carriers, AEGIS Vessels, and on Red China’s growing Navy.

One nitpick, Jeff...

Shouldn't that be "principal" not "principle"?

And I've always been a big fan of Prandtl-Glauert condensation myself...

Cheers!
