F1 tunnel hull design

Hi All!

I am interested in designing an F1 type hull for model application. I've searched the net for info about physics and how to design the boat, but all I can find is at http://www.aeromarineresearch.com/ where it costs money (still a student on a budget)

Do any of you know where to get "free" information ?

Cheers

Try here: www.champboat.com .

Most of it is about the similar series in the US, but use the toolbar, there are forums, pictures of competitive boats and links to more info.

 

thanks

Thanks for the info,I've checked the forums at champboat.com but I could not find any topics about design. So starting a thread there as well

 

F1 Boats

Look up sites on racecar/automotive aerodynamics. There's a lot of commonality with F1 boats.

Here's a good start.

Go to screamandfly.com These are hard core aquamotorheads. They have a book section where there are several publications on hull design etc. There are also useful forums to discuss the topic.
