Hi,


Super Transport 1928 = 25pCswB; four 410hp P&W Wasp; span: 85'0" v (est): 152/120/x range (est): 800. Ambitious design project which never made it to production, but is included because of its design magnificence for the time. The double-deck fuselage had two lounges, a buffet table, 6'3" ceiling height. Dual, brake-equipped wheels had a 20'6" tread. Calculated to cruise on any three motors, and maintain level flight with only two, this would have been the King Kong of airliners had it gotten off the drawing board.

Well, you just have to credit the designer with a certain off-beat logic...
 
Interesting design! But for me the real King Kong of airliners from this period has to be http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,4979.0.html

Hello,

I don't suppose anyone has weight estimates for this design? Or any information on the ailerons?
