Reduction in form resistance makes flying boat competitive with landplane; aerodynamic and hydrodynamic efficiency improved by designing hulls that are longer and slimmer than previous shapes; length/beam ratio has become important criterion of efficiency; two new Navy flying boats, Martin XP5M-1 and Convair XP5Y-1, feature improved hull form; notes on research at NACA.
