Extract

As it may be necessary in the future, as it has been in the past, to launch aircraft from ships, other than aircraft carriers with large aerodrome decks, the following investigation has been carried out.

It is required to find the minimum propeller thrust necessary to enable an aircraft (particularly a seaplane or flying boat) of known weight and fineness, to take off from a railway platform, on a ship steaming at given speed.
