This unrivalled versatility and performance along with best-in-class ca in space, allows for entirely new missions. In the spirit of pioneering Dornier flying boats, the Seastar is superior in every b important measure – speed, range, safety, cabin size and lower maintenance...

CONSTRUC TED TO BE SAFE SUPERIOR DESIGN A main design principle of the Seastar is related to enhanced safety. The aircraft is certified by both EASA and FAA. Equipped with two proven and highly reliable Pratt & Whitney PT6A-135A turboprop engines in tandem configuration, which eliminates the possibility of asymmetric thrust in the event of an engine failure. It offers twin-engine reliability with smooth single-engine handling. The Seastar wing is constructed as a single continuous airfoil structure with a three spar fail-safe design. The same holds for the fuselage: the rigid structure and...

OPERATING ECONOMICS In terms of direct operating costs, the Seastar is the most economical aircraft in its class. The all-composite, corrosion-free boat hull signifi cantly reduces maintenance cost compared to other aircraft. Due to its manufacturing quality and durability, the residual value is poised to be significantly higher than that of metal aircraft. FEEL THE POWER OF TWO TURBINES EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE With a maximum cruise speed of 180 KTAS, the Seastar is 40 KTAS faster than its nearest competitor. The powerful Pratt & Whitney PT6A-135A turboprop engines provide Seastar with 1,300...

FEATURES The Seastar has a set of design features that create advantages not found on any other amphibious aircraft, including the wide-track corrosion-resistant landing gear including brakes and rims, all the way to the centre-line engine configuration. All features combined lead to a safer and lower operating cost aircraft ideally suited to carry out various missions. A hydro stern thruster makes the Seastar turn around on the water 360° in both directions. DURABILIT Y Conventionally designed aircraft and helicopters require a high level of time-consuming and costly main enance. The...
