Prototype amphibian version with Wright engines.
The first five production aircraft built as pure flying boats with Wright engines.
The original (commercial production) 4-AT had three air cooled Wright radial engines.
However, obtaining engines remained a stumbling block, with Spain unable to afford to import the Wright engine in quantity.
Also in 1939, Lycoming produced Wright radial engines here.
In 1926, a French pilot took off with a crew of three in a plane powered by three Wright engines.
Thirteen impressed Model 18-40s with two Wright 1820-97 engines.
The power-to-weight ratio was actually better than the Wright engine.
Performance was similar to the equivalent Wright engines.
It was the world's first series production aircraft and by 1909 Clement-Bayard had the license to manufacture Wright engines alongside their own design.
