This was an experimental hydro-racing plane, it was designed without floats but instead with a water tight fuselage and water resistant wings and imployed incidence hydrofoils to get itself off the water during take-off, a smaller marine propellar was on the underside of the the aircraft (its not on mine because prop engines don't work underwater) after the hydro-foil raised the aircraft above the water the areial propellar would be activated, but because the cluthches to activate the diffrent engines were unreliable it was never completed for the "1929 Schneider Trophy race"
