Description
The Martin Mariner: A Revolutionary Design In 1937, the Glen Martin company began working on the model I62, a twin-engine high-wing monoplane flying boat with an inverted gull wing. This innovative design was chosen for its potential to set new standards in aviation. The Wright R-200-6 Cyclone engine, one of the most powerful air-cooled radial engines available at the time, was selected as the power plant. With 1600 hp maximum take-off power, this engine would have enabled the Martin Mariner to achieve impressive performance and range. This book provides a detailed look at the design and development of the Martin Mariner, offering insights into its innovative features and technological advancements.
