SES Resistance Analysis paper added to members library

With thanks to John Lewthwaite, a copy of his paper ‘The Prediction of Resistance of Surface Effect Ships’ has been linked to the Members Library page ACV/SES Drag, together with an abstract of the paper. Members should find this useful as it gives results from a comparison of extensive data obtained from Hovermarine International on its thin sidewall SES and the MTG SES-700 prototype which employs wider breadth sidewalls consistent with installation of water jet propulsion.
