My invention relates to boat hulls of that description commonly used in connection with the type of flying machines called flying boats. This type is characterized by the support of the tail controls upon and the passengers in the body of the boat hull which also carries abeam of itself an air supporting surface. However, as will appear hereinafter more clearly, my invention is applicable to hulls of hydroplanes of other types than flying boats.
