Moncassin Flying Boats

[hesham]

Hi,

it's French.but I don't know if it was the name of the company or a person,Type-1 was a three-seat patrol/recce
biplane flying boat of 1918,powered by 200 hp Hispano engine,the airplane had a wing area of 193 sq. m,maximum
speed at 2,000 m was estimated at 135 km/h,climb to 2,000 meters took 45 minutes. Apparently the design proved
unsatisfactory, as development was abandoned by April 1918.

Type-2 was a two-seat patrol/recce flying boat,powered by two 300 hp Hispano engines,it was a biplane with a single-
step hull,the wing area was 215 sq. m,as with the Moncassin single-engine flying boat,the twin-engine design was
abandoned by April 1918.

"Moncassin 1" appeared briefly on the material reports of Centre of Naval Aviation at Fréjus - Saint-Raphaël in May 1918, to be disposed off the following June. No plan, no photograph, no order could be found. The only known information is that it was powered by a Hispano-Suiza 200 hp engine, that it had a wing surface of 45.00 m² and that the military load carried was 100 kg.
