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 Nat. Advisory Committee for Aeronautics -- Tech. Memo., no. 541, Nov. 1929, 12 pp., 7 figs. on supp. plates)
