Q P 2O 3O 4O SO 6O TO BO 9O 1OO Martin Mars using A.T.O. FLYING-BOAT PROPORTIONS THESE specially prepared Flightsketches, to a common scale, illus-trate the characteristic hull form of the British designs, the individuality of the French machines, and the huge size of the Hughes Hercules. A remarkable degree of aerodynamic refinement singles out the French S.E.I200, a flying scale-model of which has been con- structed. Of the types illustrated, only the SR 45 and S.E.I200 have not yet flown, though the Hughes has merely achieved a short hop during preliminary taxying trials. Types omitted on grounds of obsolescence include the Short Sun- derland Conversion and Boeing 341. The Short Sandringham, or Hythe Class, as it is known to B.O.A.C., is slightly smaller than the Solent depicted here. isu ISO 3O 4O 5O 6O 70 8O IOO IK> IZO GO I4O ISO I7O ISO I9O 2OO 2IO 22O
