Towing scaled hulls through calm water channels allows engineers to measure net drag directly and mathematically compute the effective propulsion power required for the actual vessel. To refine hull efficiency, teams install scaled propellers and employ laser sheets or dye tracing to expose flow instabilities and wake turbulence.
Furthermore, physical models allow pilots to safely execute high-risk maneuvering diagnostics, including severe zigzags, tight turning circles, and heading overshoots. These repeatable trials capture real-world delays and heel angles without endangering crew members or risking millions of dollars in mechanical assets.
