What the heck is a tumblehome?

monkeysauce

Come on guys, it's Toyota. The next tC will be bigger and heavier, with a bigger engine. Have they ever made a new revision of a car smaller and lighter?

Tumblehome is the narrowing of a ship's hull with greater distance above the water-line. Expressed more technically, it is present when the beam at the uppermost deck is less than the maximum beam of the vessel. It can be seen well in steel constructed warships of the early 1880's when the United States and most European navies began building steel warships. France was predominately strong in promoting the tumblehome design in their warships, and sold their newly constructed pre-dreadnought battleship Tsesarevich to the Russian Imperial Navy in time for it to fight as Admiral Wilgelm Vitgeft's flagship at the Battle of the Yellow Sea on 10 August 1904. However, the five follow-on Tumblehome designed Borodino-class battleships, which had been built in Russian yards to Tsesarevich's basic design, fought the only decisive steel battleship fleet action in naval history on 27 May 1905 at Tsushima. The fact that three of the four (the fifth battleship, the Slava was not completed in time) 'tumblehome' Borodino class battleships were lost in this battle, resulted in the discontinuing of the tumblehome design in future warships for nearly all navies.

A small amount of tumblehome is normal in many designs in order to allow any small projections at deck level to clear wharves (Pursey p. 21. One of the reasons it was originally used was to make boarding more difficult. It also reduces the beam of the main deck, so reducing its weight and increasing stability. It was abandoned for nearly a century in large warships, as the angle of the hull increased the likelihood of penetration by shells, compared with vertical sides. It has recently been reintroduced for the United States' DDG-1000 class destroyer.

A degree of tumblehome also facilitates paddling in a canoe or kayak (Mather, 1885), while a greater degree of flare (its opposite) accommodates more cargo (Vaillancourt).

Well, you're not alone .

THE_DON

So true.

If they keep the name "tC" expect it to get bigger and heavier.

I'd prefer a next gen AE86 with the 1.8 and RWD. Drop the tC and just call it a tE

They should just call it the aE then.

i may just be the only one who doesn't really like the new fuse concept... its just not my taste.
so if scion goes that direction styling wise for the next gen. tC ill be fine with it.

that'll mean only one year of the 08' in production. therefore less of em on the road.

I'm thinking 2010 remodel, sold in 2009. As far as specs, I have no guess or much perfernece at that, but lets just keep the pricing in mind as well. Cant have everything if the price is to be under..say...20k-ish?
