A Novel Seaplane Installation: All‐Metal Monocoque Floats with Longitudinal Flutes and an Aerofoil Section Spreader‐Bar

Abstract

AN interesting feature of the Lockheed Sirius used by Colonel Lindbergh on his flight via Alaska, the Behring Straits and the Aleutian and Keurile Islands to Japan, is the twin‐float attachment fitted to the machine to convert it into a seaplane by the Edo Aircraft Corporation of Long Island, New York.
