The World's Largest Seaplane Pulls Off Its First Waterborne Flight
`
Popular Mechanics 7/27/2020 https://www.popularmechanics.com/mil...1029952&src=nl It's the largest seaplane in operation but, from Jalopnik: 7/27/20 While it has half as many propellers as the Hughes H-4 Hercules did in the 1940s, the Kunlong is more or less half the size of the Goose. The so-called flying lumberyard made use of an octet of 3000-horsepower Pratt & Whitney 28-cylinder radial piston engines, while the Kunlong makes do with a foursome of Ivchenko AI20-based WJ-6 turboprop engines making about 4500 horsepower each. -------------------------------- ----------------------------- .
