Saunders Roe Duchess Flying boat

3,020 EH86055  8.0 years ago

This giant jet powered flying boat would have claimed the title as the fastest transatlantic seaplane ever,but,due to many structural reasons,it remains as a blueprint. Once in the air,pull the trim halfway down to maintain good pitch. VTOL up for air-brakes.Credit to PlanesOfOld for the non-floppy wings. Please give me some feedback,I will need it for updates and new seaplanes which will be coming in the future.
