Breeze Drifter, Hydroplane Model, 3D Metal Mechanical Airplane Model Building Kit, Unique Wind-Up Moving Mechanism, Stainless Steel DIY Construction with Toolbox - 81 Pieces.

Frenchman Alphonse Pénaud filed the first patent for a flying machine with a boat hull and retractable landing gear in 1876, but the Austrian Wilhelm Kress is credited with the construction of the first seaplane, Drachenflieger, in 1898. HISTORY OF PROTOTYPES The idea of crossing a boat and an airplane came to the mind of people who have studied the world around them carefully. Like the idea of aeronautics in general. Of course, their humanity borrowed from birds. I consider the beginning of the seaplane era to be the 10s of the 20th century, although the first seaplane took off into the air as early as 1909. It was created on the basis of its own engine by the American inventor Curtis. And already in 1913, the Ukrainian designer Grigorovich tested the M-1 seaplane, which marked the beginning of the era of seaplanes. Aviation history honors the records set by seaplanes: two dead loops on the Grigorovich amphibian, the speed record of the Soviet Be-10 at 910 km/h, the largest seaplane in the world, created in China already in the 20s of the new century. The designers of "Metal time" could not ignore this important step in the desire of humanity to fly and presented the modular model "Breeze Drifter". It is a prototype that incorporates the characteristics of a typical propeller seaplane. Of course, it does not float, but it has a spring mechanism that drives the screws of the "motors".
