==================================================================

1)  Flash!  Hydro-Prop Spills & Thrills

Well, they fooled us again.  The Hydro-Prop "Spills and Thrills" special has been rescheduled, and will now be shown this weekend on ESPN2 - Friday, November 30, 2001, on ESPN2 - at 6:00 PM (EDT). The show will rebroadcast on December 3rd, December 16th and December 30th.
 
The show will feature both the Unlimited Hydroplane Series and the Formula One P.R.O.P. Tour in a single combined show!  Be sure to check your local listings for specific times in your area.
Go to http://www.hydroprop.com/hydros/broadcast.htm for updates on the air times for the repeats.


2) Coming next week!  STV Euro-19 Report

The "Boat Test Report" for the STV Euro-19.  We have had many requests to publish a performance analysis report of the Euro, using the "Tunnel Boat Design Program" software - so we have finally done it!  Our test rig assumes Merc 2.5efi power, so this boat should really fly!  The performance prediction and analysis uses the NEW TBDP, Version 6.5 software!  FREE download for all members. Watch for it on our home page. http://www.aeromarineresearch.com

3) NEW Aerofoil flow simulation.  Try FoilSim, the interactive simulation software designed by NASA that determines the airflow around various shapes of airfoils.  Check it out at our web site at: http://www.aeromarineresearch.com/simulation.html

Tunnel boats rely on aerodynamic lift to give them their outstanding performance.   Understanding how these aerofoils work is important to a good tunnel boat design. The FoilSim software was developed at the NASA Glenn Research Center, and is interactive simulation software that determines the airflow around various shapes of airfoils. The Airfoil View Panel is a simulated view of a wing being tested in a wind tunnel with air moving past it from left to right. Students change the position and shape of the wing by moving slider controls that vary the parameters of airspeed, altitude, angle of attack, thickness and curvature of the airfoil, and size of the wing area. The software displays plots of pressure or airspeed above and below the airfoil surface. A probe monitors air conditions (speed and pressure) at a particular point on or close to the surface of the airfoil. The software calculates the lift of the airfoils, allowing viewers to learn the factors that influence lift.

4)  Special!  Powerboating Books  (for Members Only)
We are able to get a limited number of fantastic powerboating books.  If there is sufficient interest from our members, we will make a volume order from our supplier for special discount pricing.  If you are interested, just drop me an email before December 6/2001. 

Books include: The Golden Age of the Racing Outboard; Evinrude Johnson - The Legend of OMC; Iron Fist - The Lives of Carl Kiekhaefer (this is a great book!); Gar Wood Boats: Classics of a Golden Era; Don Aronow - The King of Thunderboat Row; Classic Speedboats - 1945-1962; Cutwater - Speedboats & Launches from the Golden Age of Boating; Classic Speedboats - 1916-1939

Check out the books on our Members Only page at: http://www.aeromarineresearch.com/newbooks.htm


5) Free Software Deal!  Here are two great software deals that I have been able to dig up.  Both are FREE, and we pay only small shipping costs.

FREE McAfees Virus Scan - If you've never tried the Number #1 Virus Detection & Removal tool before, this is your chance to try one of the best in the business. McAfee's VirusScan captures 100% of viruses, including boot, file, multi-partite, stealth, mutating, encrypted, and polymorphic viruses. Convenient to use. ($49 value)

Note: The articles presented in TBPNews are edited excerpts from the Secrets of Tunnel Boat Design book, by Jim Russell, published by AeroMarine Research.  The STBD book explains the theory in full, and outlines example design calculations, step-by-step.  The Tunnel Boat Design Program for Windows 98, software, does all the force calculations, dynamic force balances at all speeds, and reports the analysis automatically, including complete graphical performance results for any tunnel or modified vee hull design.
