Keels, fins and rudders require more complicated tests. With the help of companies such as Boeing and Digital, designers perform wind-tunnel experiments using special computer codes that help show lift and drag forces on the keel. Shapes of keels now vary widely, from the basic lead-filled bulb at the end of a fin to the hydrodynamic "winged" keel, a Y-shaped structure that has less underwater drag and more lift. The latest design: a tandem keel that combines the rudder and keel fin and eliminates the need for a separate rudder. Developed in shipyards with great secrecy...
