Amphibian Aircraft
The catamaran design allows this amphibian
aircraft to handle incredibly well in the water and offers reduced drag in
the air. The seaplane pictures of the amphibian aircraft, 329Amphibian, show
it's unique ability to handle the water portion extremely well.
Unlike any other amphibian aircraft or seaplane, this twin hull seaplane design
provides for a wide center of gravity with increased stability. Flying the
329Amphibian will provide the sportsman or the military a unique advantage over
any other seaplane manufacturer.
The construction techniques and materials have allowed the engineering of the
twin hulled catamaran amphibian to surpass the designs of most seaplane
manufacturers. We have taken an entirely new design and have taken it to new
limits. Look at other seaplane pictures or designs and you will see the inherent
advantages. This is a unique design for an amphibian aircraft. The design will
change as the project continues to develop. There is thought (not yet tested) to
provide a step on the bottom of each hull to take advantage of the latest racing
catamaran technology.
The ducted fan of the seaplane allow it to direct the force of the engine in a
focused and targeted area. It will permit full throttle operation from the
start, thus reducing the take off space required. This amphibian aircraft will
perform better using the ducted fan with movable back planes. The exhaust end of
the fan can be directed to control not only the defection for the pitch and yaw,
but to direct the thrust of the engine.
The "Ring
Airfoil" provides vectored thrust offering propulsion efficiencies while
stabilizing both laterally and longitudinally.
329Amphibian is looking for partners in the aviation industry to assist with the
rapid development and construction.
Airplane
manufacturers have been looking for a better solution to the water and air craft
for quite some time. We have that better solution right now.
You will find a fair amount of information on our site about our aircraft design
as well as links and information to other manufacturers. Your feed back is
welcome.
We have gone to great lengths to extend the usefulness of this particular
design. Wanting to incorporate the best of previous designs. There is every
reason to keep the best of breed, and then to add to it the best of the new
materials and design philosophy. Lake amphibian has done a good job of keeping
the older technology alive and well. We wanted to take the 329Amphibian to the
next level.
Twin elliptical hulls from our catamaran design allows the plane to better
travel on water and to be more efficient in the air. Sea trials from the models
have proven the design to be as expected.
Our desire to create this plane came from a knowledge of what was currently
available in the general aviation market place, including kit planes and what we
knew was possible with today's engineering.
This design could be used by the sportsman, commuter, and the Navy Seals. Each
of these have unique criteria for their needs, and each can be met with the
329Amphibian.
Beaching
or docking the plane is facilitated by the wing section between the hulls.

amphibian aircraft.
