AIR GIANT
! WORLD’S LARGEST AIRCRAFT WING SPAN OF 200 FEET i ! The world’s largest aircraft, the Glenn Martin Mars U.S. Navy flying boat, recently arrived in Britain on its first official flight. The iMars will not need to refuel for the return flight, as its range enables it to fly to Europe and iback non-stop. The 70-ton flying-boat has a wingspan of 200 1 feet and is powered by four 2000' horse-power motors. Space in the hull is equivalent to that in a 16-room house and the aircraft can carry 150 fully-armed men and a crew of eleven.
