A theoretical method is derived for computing the motions and hydrodynamic loads during water landings of prismatic bodies involving appreciable immersion of the chines. A simplified method of computation covering flat-plate and V-bottom bodies with beam-loading coefficients greater than unity is given as a separate section. Comparisons of theory with experiment are presented as plots of impact lift coefficient and maximum draft-beam ratio against flight-path angle and as time histories of loads and motions. Fair agreement is found to exist for chine-immersed landings for angles of dead rise of 0 degrees and 30 degrees, beam-loading coefficients from 1 to 36.5, flight-path angles from 2 to 90 degrees, and trims from 6 to 45 degrees.
