Abstract

Abstract. The Sea Toll allows the formation of marine tourism transportation, such as a floatplane to be developed in the Indonesian Archipelago Region. This research develops a floater design for a floatplane with a capacity of 17 passengers of N219 Amphibian. Design configurations were coded by LPDP-01 to LPDP-09. The final result of numerical simulation shows that the best design was the Floater LPDP-09x0 with a length of 9.8 meters. The characteristics of the floater have small resistance, relatively stable movement, and included in the safe category.
The assumptions of this research that^s are the weight of main and nose landing gear are smaller than twin floater, the method numerical analysis is by using trim even keel condition for Savitsky method to known the draft, volume and displacement of 9.8 m and 11.8 m length, and the porpoising effect is included in the figure of results.

Keywords: Floater, Resistance, CFD, even keel, porpoising.
