Prediction made that water based aircraft will be lighter and cheaper than land based aircraft, because of total elimination of landing gear; feasibility of flying aircraft carrier that could cruise at 40,000 ft at 400 to 500 mph and accommodate large number of missiles and supersonic fighting and bombing planes; design envisaged for giant cargo flying boat with turbojet or nuclear energy jet driven power plant.
