Planning devices such as hydroflaps and hydrofoils were installed on several dynamically scaled models of military airplanes; their effectiveness in improving ditching characteristics was determined from tests covering a number of ditching conditions. In general, these ditching aids were found to be of value. Ditching aids tested caused a reduction in maximum longitudinal decelerations and kept forward part of fuselage clear of water during most of run. As a background to model tests, report also presents general information regarding ditching aids and experimental data obtained during tests on a hydroflap in an impact basin.
