transverse stability

Such a wing has high induced drag but was thought to offer good transverse stability and low speed behaviour.

For example, a catamaran has a biggest transverse stability of all ships of the same displacement.

A duplus has biggest transverse stability from all SWA ship types.

- It means a possibility of simple enough ensuring of transverse stability of any multihull type.

The large quantity of heavy equipment mounted above the main deck of the ship raises its center of gravity and reduces its transverse stability.

- Independence of transverse stability from single hull lengthening; the stability strongly depends from the transverse clearance.

To save weight and improve transverse stability, the class was given a more compact and lower superstructure, electric welding was used, as was aluminium in the superstructure.

A keel may be fitted on a hull to increase the transverse stability (if filled with a heavy weight), directional stability or to create lift as in a sail boat .

On the [Zumwalt], with the waves coming at you from behind, when a ship pitches down, it can lose transverse stability as the stern comes out of the water - and basically roll over."
