Applications

A revolution in connectivity




 

New applications and markets for the Ocean seaplanes are driven by their increasing connectivity.  With double the range in relation to conventional seaplanes to bring four times the area within reach in a flight, with wing-folded water-taxiing multiplying usable coastal facilities by a factor of five, with doubled wave-height capability allowing reliable open-water operations, combined with capability as landplanes, the Ocean seaplanes wholly revolutionise connectivity.  They allow travellers to switch from inconvenient airfields and dependency on secondary transports, to travel quicker and easier to exactly where they want to go.  The greater efficiency and improved through-life economics then make this connectivity affordable to a greater proportion of the world's populations.

  • Remote and coastal homes to the hearts of capital cities (the majority being waterside)

  • Mainland business jet hubs direct to the remotest islands and waterside resorts

  • Quickest remote access to yachts and mega yachts, allowing them to be kept in the most valued cruising territories

  • Universal services to islands too small and coastlines too mountainous for airfields

  • Silent and zero-emission operations in harbours where social and other pressures block

  • Connecting distributed island nation populations to international aviation hubs

  • Lakeland, river and coastal taxi, charter and utility

  • Flying city-bound fisherman to choice rivers and sporting lodges

  • Flightseeing and exploration

  • Coastal and offshore industry support and personnel transfer

  • Transfer between vessel, shore and inland

  • Inland airfields to where friends and all elements of a family head for a summer weekend or holiday

  • From anywhere to everywhere that equivalent landplanes go

Connectivity

Coastguard and public service

In addition to transport roles, the Ocean seaplanes will improve the economics, diversify and increase the effect of services including:

  • Inshore and offshore Search & Rescue​

  • Disaster relief

  • Medivac

  • Coastguard, border policing including monitoring, detection and interdiction

  • Ship activity policing including discharging and commercial fishing

  • Offshore environmental monitoring

  • Remote community services

  • Fire-fighting with high-rate water-scooping
