Each was supported from below by a pair of struts mounted on the lower fuselage longeron.

It joined to the fuselage around the wing roots with two pairs of struts.

It was braced to the lower fuselage by a parallel pair of long struts on each side.

On each side, the wings were supported by a pair of inclined struts attached to the fuselage.

The outer engines were each mounted well below the wing via two pairs of struts.

On each side, another pair of struts went almost vertically from the sponson to the wing below the outer engine.

This structure was stabilized on each side by a pair of struts to the upper and lower booms.

The centre section was supported by a pair of struts from the upper fuselage on each side.

The central float was again mounted with a pair of N-shaped struts, now vertical.

These were long and joined to each other with a pair of transverse horizontal struts.
