Buoyancy
Buoyancy, or upthrust, is a gravitational force, a net upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a partially or fully immersed object.
Hull (watercraft)
A hull is the watertight body of a ship, boat, submarine, or flying boat. Waterline and hull (watercraft) are Shipbuilding.
See Waterline and Hull (watercraft)
Hull speed
Hull speed or displacement speed is the speed at which the wavelength of a vessel's bow wave is equal to the waterline length of the vessel.
Inch
The inch (symbol: in or pprime) is a unit of length in the British Imperial and the United States customary systems of measurement.
Load line (watercraft)
The load line, also known as Plimsoll line, indicates the legal limit to which a ship may be loaded for specific water types and temperatures in order to safely maintain buoyancy, particularly with regard to the hazard of waves that may arise.
See Waterline and Load line (watercraft)
Nose cone
A nose cone is the conically shaped forwardmost section of a rocket, guided missile or aircraft, designed to modulate oncoming airflow behaviors and minimize aerodynamic drag.
Sailing
Sailing employs the wind—acting on sails, wingsails or kites—to propel a craft on the surface of the water (sailing ship, sailboat, raft, windsurfer, or kitesurfer), on ice (iceboat) or on land (land yacht) over a chosen course, which is often part of a larger plan of navigation.
United States Air Force
The United States Air Force (USAF) is the air service branch of the United States Armed Forces, and is one of the eight uniformed services of the United States.
See Waterline and United States Air Force
Water
Water is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula.
Waterline length
A vessel's length at the waterline (abbreviated to L.W.L) is the length of a ship or boat at the level where it sits in the water (the waterline). Waterline and waterline length are Shipbuilding.
