Seawind: We're Alive And Well

Passes Two Imprtant Steps Towards Certification, Design Configuration Frozen

Cats may have nine lives... but Seawind may have more. The long-suffering folks building the much-delayed Seawind Amphibian say they are "alive and well" and progressing through certification with two important milestones now behind them.

The company completed flutter testing on the airplane March 24. With the successful completion of the flutter testing and a number of other developmental test flights, the design configuration of the airplane is now frozen. Seawind's engineering staff has just completed the installation of a Stall Prevention System, which prevents stalls and, without stalls, spins as well.

It was just one year ago that the Seawind flew to Ottawa to begin flight testing.

With the configuration set, Seawind is looking to acquire funding to start assembling pre-production aircraft at their factory in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec, Canada. The company claims they have 50 orders already on the books
