Martin China Clipper
Самолет Model 130 China Clipper, предназначенный для длительных трансокеанских перелетов, представлял собой четырехмоторный моноплан, спроектированный по схеме летающей лодки с двухреданным корпусом совершенно новой конструкции.
По экономическим критериям Model 130 превосходил DC-3, и три лодки закупила в 1935 году авиакомпания "Pan Am". Экипаж каждого гидроплана состоял из четырех человек, лодка в дневной полет могла брать на борт до 48 пассажиров. Силовая установка включала четыре мотора Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp мощностью по 600 л. с., установленных на передней части крыла.
