Sorry, Ton, it is not what I have as the name!

I just checked. I have it as the CAPRA R.9 but it i s also shown elsewhere as the CAPRA R.90 (MATRA). It was a twin-boom/4 engined flying boat project.



You have control Ton!!!

Somebody please explain to me in simple terms how these CAPRAs and MATRAs were supposed take off and land. I understand that there were patent applications (only?) and that the projects were rapidly abandoned, but…..
