- Peter Hermle, CEO of Dornier Seawings speaks about the Doriner Seastar, the amphibian aircraft engineered to operate from runway and water surfaces.
Peter was interviewed by Chris Cauchi, Senior Partner, BOV Aviation Outlook.
The BOV Aviation Outlook is Malta's premiere aviation conference bringing together the major players in the aviation industry in Malta
What an elegant, beautiful aircraft !
Gracias por crear esta obra. No pretene ser soberbia 'pero es soberbia' El centrado de masas y fuerzas actuantes lo hace seguro por naturaleza.
Visualmente es un bombón.
Al concepto dornier hidro de 1920, hay que hacer un debido reconocimiento a sus creadores 😍🤗
Suerte para este inmejorable modelo y sus afortunados viajeros.
I would love to have one!
I like this plane a whole lot and i find it very unique knowing there is no critical engine with this twin. But the price is a bit steep since they are pricing this almost the same as a Viking twin otter 400S (amphibians) and slightly more than the Cessna 206 on wipline 3450 floats. If the price was brought at or in between the equipment acquisition cost of the Cessna and the Twin otter them perhaps it can fair well. But at least the seastar will lack excessive short term hull corrosion and its faster than the cessna and the twin otter.
G stone I'd Camperize it. Or a CL415. Just short on funds lol
Navel Army on sea...will be main customer
We were doing black on that file 😄
Seems like everytime this or a lot of other nifty aircraft projects get ready to go the economy tanks.
Now I hope BOV if encash all resources eill be able to finance BOV Aviation vision 🎤😃
Sea Star had the capacity to work as Sea plane...at Faster speed than the sea ships...😄💟
A Grand Caravan (867 hp) on floats would be 201 mph and this Dornier is 204 mph with 2 x 641 hp = 1282 hp. To make the Caravan fly exactly the same speed would require 30 more hp or 897 hp. 1282/897= 1.43 times more drag for the Dornier over the Grand Caravan. But if you need 3 ft of rough water, Dornier would be the only choice.
Dear SeaPlaneGuy: Woukld it be possible to contact me at andrey.vegger@sportster.aero to discuss a bit more your point of view in details
On the same product concept Large Medium Travel sea ships can be built with faster speed not creeping speed on water with Dual power concept .😄
Typically flying boats like the Dornier, Goose, Mallard etc. don't do very well with boat docks. But the Seastar doesn't have outboard float/ sponsons mounted on the wings, so it might be alright. Economically I think it's going to have a hard time competing with the New Twin Otters on floats tho.
So Do 18 and Do 24 had floats?
Is it me, or does this ring "who stole what" when you look at this beside the Icon5 two seater?
Dornier started about 90 years before Icon...
Dornier Flugzeugwerke was a German aircraft manufacturer founded in Friedrichshafen in 1914 by Claude Dornier. Over the course of its long lifespan, the company produced many designs for both the civil and military markets.
ICON Aircraft was founded in response to the 2004 Federal Aviation Administration establishment of the light-sport aircraft (LSA) class of aircraft and Sport Pilot certificate class of pilot. Kirk Hawkins and Steen Strand founded the company in 2006.
I can see any off-dock wind scenario being an issue maneuvering due to inline thrust and no water rudders.
Huh?
if it had folded wings it would get 100 marks
COST WAY TOO MUCH, BUT USEFUL NICE AIRCRAFT.
This design is totally obsolete and 6.8 to 17 times MORE to run with a fraction of the performance. Waste of money.
OKAY!
Now we will see accounting figures of this projects 😀🎤🌟🌙☀️⚡⭐✨💛🌘🍊🍊🍑🍑💜💙💚🧡❤️🤍🖤🏫🌇💗🏬🏘️🏣🤎💰
