Principles involved in design of Rohrbach seaplanes; wing foregoes aerodynamically best lift distribution along span in favor of greater static advantages; advantage of strongly tapered cantilever wing; necessary condition for large seaworthy flying boat was creation of sharp-bottomed hull; lateral floats; engine location; taxiing, take-off and flight characteristics; flight performances. From Zeit. fuer Flugtechnik und Motorluftschiffahrt, July 15, 1929. (See also Zeit. fuer Flugtechnik und Motorluftschiffahrt, vol. 20, no. 13, July 15, 1929, pp. 334-338, 10 figs.)
