Eessentially two V-12 engines in tandem joined by a single crankshaft, each driving one of the two contra rotating propellers via a co-axial shaft, counter rotating propellers which eliminated the on-water torque problems that plagued high-powered seaplanes. On October 23, 1934, an M.C.72 set an absolute world speed record of 440.683 mph, to this day it is still the world speed record for a piston engined float plane.
