Abstract:

This report discusses a suggestion that synthetic oils be developed to calm rough waters to facilitate the alignting of seaplanes on the surface of the sea. By correlating physical-chemical data and theories with the results of practical experience it is indicated that the natural oils now used are probably the equal of any available synthetic oil for calming rough waters and that they would probably be of little value to airplanes except as storm oils when forced down at sen in heavy weather.
