There is no debate, if you look at the films you can see that
the huge plane was capable of flight.

It’s debatable whether it hovered on ground effect flight, and was actually incapable of true flight.

and ONLY flight… 70 feet (21 m) off the water at a speed of 135 mph (217 km/h or 117 knots) for around a mile (1.6 km)
