They said it could “fly” in up to 2 meters. I would’ve expected any size wave could topple it.

Others like the orlyonok were able to fly way higher, at an efficiency cost.

A big issue they all share, with all other seaplanes, is that taking off in rough seas is terrible, and very stressful on both passengers and superstructures.

Caspian sea monster had a static ceiling around 3000m. Just enough for a rebase to Mediterranean Sea.
