five to ten minutes at the most on the following requirements :-- a two-hour flight.
A most surprising development has taken place in the seaplane field during the past three years, and lack of available equipment can no longer be assigned as a reason for overlooking its operating advan- tages. At present, for instance, a total of over fifty different types of land planes have been licensed by the Department of Commerce for water flying, as compared to some ten different types of amphibions. These seaplanes range in size from the single-place light plane to ten and twelve place trimotor-tran: sports with gross weights in excess of 12,000 pounds, and some fifteen | different types are available to-day
for use in the transport field.
Speeds of 170 miles per hour on floats are already regularly accom- plished with standard seven-place ships powered by 450 horsepower engines.
