BECAUSE of its ability to take off at the maximum weight that it can sustain in the air at sea level, the landplane has always had a greater range than the seaplane. With the advent of the retractable undercarriage, the landplane has now the added advantage of a much higher cruising speed and hence a further increase of range over the seaplane. The retraction of wing-tip floats on the boat type of seaplane would compensate to some extent for the retractable undercarriage, but it is certain that we must increase the ratio of maximum take-off weight to maximum flying weight before we can materially increase the range of all types of seaplanes.
