Very cool! A true modern classic design. I get the advantages of the centerline thrust design, Safer docking, no VMC and etc, but as an old-school Seaplane guy, I would of course prefer to have the engines out on the wing and facing forward as in a conventional twin, for added water handling control, and possibly increased induced lift from having more prop-wash over the wings. Should be perfect for Alaska, Great work guys!
Mr. Dornier, than you for that presentation.
I soooooo want one of these

If I could have any plane in the world this would be my first choice.
indonesia need this type..
Very cool
Do the sponsons provide any aerodynamic lift, or just water stability?
ja, can ich patrol the coasts of the atlantic? wunderbar plane
