Larnaudi

Larnaudi Single-Engine Flying Boat

  This Larnaudi flying boat was a single-engine, single-seat biplane under construction in 1918. It was probably intended for the patrol or "alerte” category of seaplane and was powered by a 200-hp Hispano-Suiza engine. The type was not selected for use by the Aviation Maritime and it is not known if the plane was ever completed.

   Wing area 18 sq. m
   Payload 180 kg
   Maximum speed: 180 km/h at 2,000 meters, climb to 1,000 meters in 15 minutes


Larnaudi Twin-Engine Flying Boat

  Larnuadi designed a twin-engine flying boat in 1918. It was to have been a triplane with two 500-hp Bugatti engines and a crew of three. As of May 1918 the design had not yet been built. The Bugatti engine, which was to have been built under license by Peugeot, apparently had severe developmental and production difficulties. The Morane-Saulnier Type AN fighter, Dorand flying boat, and the Levy-Besson triplane flying boat had also been designed to accept the new engine. However, the Type AN was eventually fitted with different engines and the Dorand and Levy-Besson designs had to be abandoned at an early stage, possibly due to difficulties with the Bugatti motor. It therefore appears likely that the Larnaudi flying boat also remained an unbuilt project.
