Abstract
Numerical method of wave load for an amphibious aircraft is carried out in this paper, and its effectiveness is verified by comparing with towing tank model test. It shows that at the same wavelength and speed, the aircraft’s wave load is positively correlated with the change of wave height, but with the increase of wavelength, the difference shows a gradually decrease. And wave load is positively correlated with the speed, the greater the speed, the greater the wave load is. The wave load decreases with the increase of the wavelength. The peak load generally occurs in the short wave state of 1.2 times the length of the fuselage. With the increase of the wavelength, the aircraft load gradually decreases.
