Sikorsky S-36 is a sesquiplan flying boat of short-hull variety, tail surfaces being carried, not on hull, but by outrigger from main plane, braced from stern of hull by two struts; tail surfaces are thus entirely independent of boat, and, being placed high, are well protected from damage when alighting or taking off, besides being located in line of thrust. See also Aviation, vol. 23, no. 10, Sept. 5, 1927, pp. 522-524, 4 figs. Powered with two Wright Whirlwind engines and designed to be fitted with land chassis.
