Tables giving data relative to American and British commercial, military and naval aeroplanes are presented and principal characteristics of several German machines are also included. It is particularly pointed out that by following methods of bridge designer in building up strength members and distribution of materials in proportion to stress, it has been learned that increase in size does not materially affect ratio between total and useful loads. Graphic comparison of wing areas, useful loads and total weights of four seaplanes considered as marking distinct steps in seaplane development is illustrated.
