      he Wrights produced this hydroplane in early 1913. It was a Model C equipped for taking off and landing on water. Originally, it used two twin pontoons affixed to the skid supports, but this made the aircraft difficult to turn. The Wright switched to one large pontoon under the center and small ones under each wingtip and tail.
      Wright Model CH specifications:

      38 ft (11.6 m) wingspan
      6 ft (183 cm) chord
      5 ft (152 cm) separation
      440 sq ft (40.8 sq. m) wing area
      1:24 camber
      40 sq ft (3.7 sq m) horizontal rear elevator
      18 sq ft (1.7 sq m) twin movable vertical rear rudders
      29.8 ft (9.1 m) overall length
      1000 lbs (417 kg) total weight (without pilot or passenger)
      6 cylinder engine, 50 to 75 hp running at 1400 to 1560 rpm
      Two contra-rotating propellers, 8.5 ft (259 cm) long, turning at 525 to 575 rpm
      45 mph (72 kph) average speed
