Definitely heavier than air.

OK, aber es scheint, dass es viele Flugboote gibt, die behaupten, am größten und am schwersten zu sein!

es wird bekommen, um der Dornier DoX sicher zu sein?

Yes - the Dornier DO X

The Dornier Do X was the largest, heaviest and most powerful flying boat in the world when it was produced by the Dornier company of Germany in 1929. The aircraft was conceived by Dr. Claudius Dornier and took seven years to design and another two years to build. In the design process, a one-to-one wooden mock-up, the first in aviation history, was built.

I'll leave it to Stevieboy to confer the honours to you SM - presuming he confirms we were right ;) :p

But it was the lovely interior we were trying to find a home for - the biggest heaviest stuff came later after I thought it had to be a BIG flying boat - still sure its right though as I found the picture when searching flying boat interiors :D

e nada mais do que um espanhol gorduroso!

и испорченная капиталистическая западная свинья!

vielleicht hatte ich bessere Verschiedenheit, wenn ich damit einfach geantwortet hatte, "ist es ein großes Flugzeug", anstatt throught das Internet mit dem Grundschleppnetz zu fischen, um nur zu entdecken, dass Sie die Antwort irgendwie nicht wussten! :((
