AUGUST 3RD, 1944 FLIGHT Advertisements. 23 THE FUTURE FAVOURS THE FLYING BOAT ... The modern trend is towards larger and larger aircraft. And as size increases the flying boat increasingly comes into its own. To begin with, the absence of landing gear becomes a factor of ever greater importance, and weight saved in this way contributes directly to payload capacity. As to general performance, the refinements of design possible in the modern large flying boat en able it to meet the most advanced and exacting requirements. Above all, runway length and runway strength — critical factors in large landplane operation — present no special problem for the flying boat. Naturally, the landplane will be preferred for many pur poses, but, for long stage ocean services, you can rely on the large flying boat for the best performance-payload factor. Moreover, with the flying boat you can give your British passenger just that atmosphere he will feel happiest in — the atmosphere of a well-found ship.
