Richard-Penhoët,as we know Mr. Paul Aime Richard,which worked in USSR and France,I spoke about him before,and he was French,began work for Les
Chantiers de Penhoët in 1923,he began to design
Richard-1,it was a three engined seaplane of 1920,
maybe remained a Project only,he followed by a
Richard-Penhoët-2 (for the manufacturer it was called
Penhoët Type-I),it was a five engined shoulder wing seaplane flying boat monoplane of 1926,and it's a well known aircraft.

Penhoët Type-II was a large transport airplane,for South Atlantic,had to have mass take-off of 45 tonnes,an area 600
m2 ,a total power of 5600 hp, a speed of 220 km / h, 20 tonnes payload and 3,500 km of range,the
