Design and development

The SE-1200 was a proposed eight-engined very large 125-passenger flying boat and to enable aerodynamic tests of the design a flying scale model approximately one-third size was built.[1] The resultant SE-1210 was powered by four 240 hp (179 kW) Renault 6Q in-line piston engines.[1] The SE-1210, registered F-WEPI, first flew on 9 June 1948 but following the cancellation of the SE-1200 project the trials were discontinued and the flying boat was scrapped in 1952.[1]

gollark: No, smoking just really quite harmful if you do much of it.
gollark: Oh, you definitely would be, because drugs bad and make you (mostly temporarily) stupiderer.
gollark: Computer stuff just tends to have hilariously stupid amounts of security vulnerabilities in everything, and brains at least... probably less so, since most of them would require physical access probably maybe hopefully.
gollark: Apparently?
gollark: No, you consume it too sometimes.
