Mayo composite aircraft nears completion at Rochester, first pictures

Mayo composite aircraft nears completion at Rochester, first pictures.
The new Mayo composite aircraft, design for ultra long-distance commercial travel, is nearing completion at Rochester and trials will take place soon.
The aircraft consists of two units. One is a four engined seaplane to be heavily loaded with freight mail and fuel, the other is a lightly loaded flying boat similar, except in details, to the Empire flying boat.
The seaplane is placed on top of the flying boat and to take off together. After the takeoff, the two separate, and the flying boat returns to its base.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Mayo composite aircraft as it nears completion at Rochester, marking an exciting milestone in aviation history. The innovative design of this aircraft is specifically tailored for ultra long-distance commercial travel, pushing the boundaries of what was previously thought possible. The Mayo composite aircraft consists of two distinct units. The first unit is a heavily loaded four-engined seaplane, intended to carry freight mail and fuel over vast distances. The second unit is a lightly loaded flying boat, reminiscent of the Empire flying boat but with unique details. These two units are ingeniously stacked on top of each other during takeoff, soaring through the skies together before separating mid-flight. As trials approach, anticipation builds around this groundbreaking creation that promises to revolutionize air travel. This photograph showcases the nearing completion of the flying boat component of the Mayo composite aircraft at Rochester's facility. Its sleek lines and meticulous craftsmanship hint at its future prowess in conquering long-haul journeys. Taken on July 5th, 1937, this monochrome image transports us back to a time between wars when technological advancements were rapidly reshaping our world. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk and labeled as Europeana photography, it serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination during one of history's most transformative eras.
