The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Sorry, Ralf, it's from Moses' side of the pond - I know there were Fokkers made there but this ain't one of them !

I can't figure out how the thing is powered, let alone the make and model. It looks like a buried prop in the pontoon but there are hydrofoil looking extensions as well. Even the large monoplane design is a bit unusual for this apparent vintage. Odd enough to be French!

Or maybe a submarine is towing it? Oh the humanity...:isadizzy:
 
Another mid-engine wonder! But with the propellers/motors at the center of gravity; I wonder how they planned to mount the torpedo(es)?

Well here's one...
