With Maia’s assist, the letter carrier could put on nearly 10,000 additional pounds and still make it across an ocean. “If an aircraft didn’t actually need to take off from the water but was ‘launched’ at flying speed, it might carry enough fuel to cross the Atlantic as well as a useful payload of mail,” says British aviation enthusiast Don Goodsell. The Mercury and the Maia were developed together to solve this problem. Carrying enough fuel to make a transatlantic flight (in addition to the mail) made it too heavy to achieve takeoff. While many parasite airplanes were attached to their hosts because they couldn’t travel far, the 51-foot-long Short S.20 could go the distance-it just couldn’t get off the ground.

It landed in Montreal 20 hours, 20 minutes after takeoff. It was a monumental day for aviation: The Mercury had become the first heavier-than-air commercial aircraft to cross the ocean, and in record time. The next day, the front page of the New York Times bore the headline: “ ‘Pickaback’ Plane Spans Atlantic After Take-Off From Bigger Craft.” Wilcockson, pilot of the Short S.21 Maia seaplane.īennett counted to three, then yelled, “Go!” Both men pulled a release lever, and Bennett was on his way toward Canada.

Only a few, like the Maia and Mercury shown here (details below) had long, storied relationships.

Often, the pair did not strike the right balance others became obsolete before full testing was finished. Yet some of these “composite aircraft” were ingenious solutions to the problem of getting a payload to a faraway or otherwise difficult-to-reach destination.Īs with all experimental aviation, the most memorable parasite airplanes weren’t necessarily the most successful. The surprise is that any carrier-parasite pairs were successful. The piggyback rides or kangaroo pouch-like transport flights, during which a mothership drags along a smaller parasite airplane, have the daffy quality of Buster Keaton silent-action gags-and a similar success rate. Connecting with your customers and contacts is key to building trust.From today’s perspective, when in-flight refueling has long been routine, the early attempts to get airplanes to fly farther than their own gas tanks would take them seem almost comically desperate.
