Design and development
The Duckling was a single-bay biplane flying boat powered by a single Lawrence radial engine in tractor arrangement, and it featured a twin fin with its high-horizontal stabilizer. Although the aircraft was built in 1918, the limited information makes it unclear whether the aircraft flew or not.[1][2]
Specifications

gollark: But I don't know if that's actually accurate since I lack the physics background to judge it and also forgot.
gollark: I vaguely remember reading that if you applied some things of general relativity to the motion of things in galaxies, you could just eliminate dark matter entirely.
gollark: Also, as far as I know there still isn't particularly good evidence of it.
gollark: Was it?
