| to Pass to sections: the Problem of a boat seaplane However since 1913 more active work of domestic designers which have quickly managed to create the seaplanes surpassing in the flight and seaworthy qualities foreign planes foreign and superseded from Russian sea aircraft has begun. In the course of search of the best constructive decisions and the relative sizes and forms of a boat and a box of wings on seaplanes М-1... М-4, Grigorovich accumulates necessary experience and in the spring of 1915 builds letajushchujulodku М-5. It was a successful embodiment of the idea of a seaplane of the given type, and with the 100-strong motor ' the Gnome-monosupap ' on flight qualities almost did not concede to overland planes of the same weight. Seaplanes М-9 and М-5 have created world popularity to their designer, and in a foreign press there was a term ' Russian style in hydroaviation '. |
it is successful to solve a problem of a boat seaplane it was possible in 1913 to known Russian aircraft designer Dmitry PavlovichuGrigorovichu. Having begun with modernisation of the French flying boat ' Donne-Levek ', he soon creates a series of sea planes, having made essential impact on development of world hydroaviation. 
In the beginning seaplane М-5 was applied as the scout, but after creation of seaplane М-9 about 10 years was used as educational for schools of sea pilots. In total it has been constructed nearby 300гидросамолетов М-5 which under the characteristics surpassed all seaplanes of that time (see the table).
