Curtiss Credited with Originating the Hydroplane
The hydroplane idea appeared in patent specs by Gugo Matullath of New York in 1809 but practical origins lie with Glenn Curtiss who added floats to an airplane over Lake Keuka in 1808. Floats under wings aimed to prevent sinking after accidents. Fabre made the first practical hydroplane flight March 28, 1910 at Martignes on the Seine. Curtiss later abandoned floats for boat hulls and won the Aero Club of America trophy in 1911.
