Problems encountered in design of flying boats are discussed and comparison made with better-known qualities of land planes; in flying boat effect of increased size is less pronounced; monoplane type of flying boat, especially in large sizes, is preferable because of greater speed and greater simplicity in order to be safe at stalled landing in heavy seas; flying boats should have very good controllability at lowest speeds; Rohrbach Romar is referred to; conditions which floating system has to fulfill. Paper presented before Am. Soc. Mech. Engrs.
