flying boat

Early mockups of the Do X that I found. They are of an unknown date, and appear to have between 10 - 12 engines in various configurations. Apparently the fuel tanks were to be positioned between the passenger cabins. Does anyone have any more info or sources for the images? Thank you.

Unknown Italian seaplane, maybe identified as I.G.R.

I am curious about the P.187, a land based variant of the BV 222.

I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong category, if so, please move it to where it belongs. ---- I've been researching the fate of Germany's largest flying boat, yet there's very little clarity in regards to what happened to it. It is generally agreed upon that the Bv 238 was strafed by...

I'm posting this in the post war section, but it is possible, given it's title that it may be a interwar project. I came across this proposal from Short Bros for an eight-engined long range flying boat. I have checked throughout the site but without any luck. Wonder if anyone can fill in the...

This plane didnt get far than a fullscale mockup, before cancelled. A very interesting plane though, with its flying boat retractable hull on a fighter.. I made it in foamboard at 1150mm wingspan, with landingear retracts for hull, and sponsoons. And of course a counter rotating prop system...

In an interview with Discovery aired on the Planes That Never Flew episode about the WS-125, George Kerevan mentioned that the Soviet Union came up with a proposal for a nuclear-powered flying boat weighing 1,000 tons. The 1,000 ton flying boat had a wingspan over over 420 feet and four...

Hi, here is a Chinese amphibian flying boat aircraft,the AVIC TA-600 or AG600. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVIC_TA-600

The July 1946 issue of Air Trails magazine has an article on large-scale flying models used for aerodynamic research. There are several images of a four-engine flying boat -- obviously if CVAC went to the expense of doing this, then it expected to build something. The legend on the nose reads...

Wandered into this aircraft form another link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Knuckleduster According to the wiki article (I know, I know), the Goshawk was part of the contract, is this true as the competing Saro and Supermarine designs had Pegasus engines? If The Knuckleduster managed to...

Hi Folks, There is a reference at PRO Kew to jet transport option considered by the RAF based on 14/45 Short Sperrin, and a Jet Princess any details?

As stated in the companion thread on the Grumman G-132 design, "The 1955 CNO OR AS-040502 required an ASW flying boat with the ability to alight in the open sea, up to sea state 5, in order to operate a sophisticated dunking sonar, AN/ASQ6." This resulted in the "Open Ocean Seaplane" request for...
