  3. The fuselage curved inward just enough that the inboard blades of #2 and #3 cleared. The fuselage would be inside the propeller arc if not for that curved section.

  4. All five hulls were complete in 1940 when France fell to Germany. One hull was operational, testing on the other four was cancelled.
