G-73 Mallard at the Air Zoo. Building on the success of the Goose and Widgeon, Grumman Aircraft developed larger G-73 Mallard for commercial use.Retaining many of the features of the smaller aircraft, such as twin radial engines, high wings with underwing floats, retractable landing gear and a large straight tail, the company built 59 Mallards between 1946 and 1951.
A lineup of Harbour Air Seaplanes: two DHC-2s and a DHC-3. This is a list of seaplane operators. A seaplane is a powered fixed-wing aircraft capable of taking off and landing (alighting) on water. [1] Seaplanes that can also take off and land on airfields are a subclass called amphibious aircraft.
The list also includes airships, which were designated under different systems than fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft until 1954, and naval aircraft that received designations under the 1911 and 1914 U.S. Navy systems, which were sequential by manufacturer and/or aircraft class, and did not convey information about the aircraft's mission.
