The Loening Duckling was an American flying boat built by Loening in the late 1910s.

Design and development

[edit]

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

[edit]
  • Powerplant: one 60 hp Lawrence 3 cylinder radial engine
