Hi,

first was tourist aircraft with inverse "M" shape,and the second was a six-engined
huge transatlantic flying boat in a weird configuration.

With regards as to the transatlantic flying boat, was it intended as a WIG (Wing In Ground effect) design, do you think?

Some details: 110 tons, 80 m wingspan, total power 15600 CV

So that is something like 2560 hp per prop! So probably three engines each?

Thank you Avimimus.

In one of my many trawls around the net, I came across a patent for a flying boat from a gentleman named Bazoin, and thought this should be a suitable place for it. I l know that Hesham has already posted the patent, but thought members may like to see a model of the type. Also see here a picture of the tourer as mentioned in Hesham's post of the patent
