The Latécoère 24 was a French three-engined flying boat with a parasol wing, built in 1927 to test the longer stretches of the South Atlantic crossing. It was meant to show whether a flying boat could cover the long open-water legs between Africa and South America that the company's mail service had to face. Trials showed that the aircraft was overweight and as a result performed below its specification.
