Burgess describes this aircraft as a "hybrid machine, that is, a machine having the characteristics of both a hydroaeroplane and a flying boat." In his usage a hydroaeroplane always has pontoons, whereas a flying boat rests on a "boat-like body having the characteristics of a hydroplane".
In this aircraft: "The nacelle or fuselage of the hydroaeroplane is eliminated and the pontoon (there being but one) retained. In this latter respect the machine is likened to the hydroaeroplane. Forwardly of and upon the pontoon a decked cabin structure is erected to inclose the landing or chassis struts, control mechanism and flying crew, but not the power plant. In this respect the machine is similar to the flying boat."
