The Albatross could land and take off from both water and land, making it versatile and adaptable to different environments.

It had a maximum speed of 236 miles per hour and a range of 2,850 miles. The Albatross was powered by two Wright R-1820-76 Cyclone radial engines, each producing 1,425 horsepower.
