An airplane as spacious as a
15 room house — that’s the Mars,
the large.-t flying boat in the world.
Developed by one aircraft manti­
fl cturer for the U. S. Navy, it is
glow undergoing preliminary tests.
According to its designer, there
■re 16,700 cubic feet of space in
its hull. While little information
has been released as to the various
ways in which it will be used, and
many of its details are secret, it is
big enough to carry 150 armed men
•nd their equipment if it were to
be placed in service as a transport.
Listed as a long-range patrol
bomber, it has a wing span of 200
feet, an overall length of 117 feet,
and a gross weight of 140,000
pounds.
Huge as it is, this colossus on
wings is only the forerunner of
larger and faster and better planes
to come in the future. Designers
are already thinking in terms of
transports weighing 250.000 pounds
and more.
While no one predicts that such
ships will be completed during this
war, they are still a possibility.
And in the post-war period, they’re
a certainty. They would be ca­
pable of carrying 102 passengers,
each with B0 pounds of luggage,
plus 25,000 pounds of cargo, and
they would fly at such speed that

they would be able to reach Lon­

New light-weight materials of
enormous strength and durability
will help to make possible the con­
struction of such boats, according
to aircraft manufacturers.
Development of such materials
to date has already produced planes
that can carry more than their
own weight in cargo, and today
research men in the airplane com­
panies are working to develop
models that will be able to carry
much more than the equal of their
weight. They are also considering
the use of spare engines that can
be run while the regular ones are
shut down for repairs in flight.
