Sea Panther Briefing
Sea Panther briefing presented at the International Seaplane Fly In
This initial fuselage mock up was hand crafted to create the external shape and internal spaces of the Sea Panther. The surfaces were then digitized with laser scans. The digitized model was then modified during initial performance design trade studies to arrive at the final external lines.
Any avionics package would be available; however, our preliminary review of fighter and helicopter accidents has shown that the backup analog gauges would be more effective in the case of spatial disorientation.
Our further goal is to provide a quiet, roomy, pressurized cockpit/cabin with excellent air quality.
Sea Panther Display Model
This display model was 3D printed from the final lines of the airplane. This preliminary design has very attractive lines while meeting the performance targets of 420 kt cruise, 60 kt stall and 1000 nm range.
