Z-FLOATS Designed For LSA And Experimental Aircraft

Incorporates Advanced Aluminum And Composite Technologies

Introducing Z-FLOATS, amphibious floats for Light Sport, Ultralight and Experimental aircraft.

Z-FLOATS are made of aluminum with Kevlar composite modules at the bow and other areas subject to wear and tear.

The floats are designed, manufactured and distributed by Z-FLOATS, LLC, an experienced international team composed of individuals from the United States and the Czech Republic.

Design and construction of Z-FLOATS incorporates advanced aluminum and composite technologies for low weight, anti-corrosion protection and maximum toughness to protect against wear and abuse.

Floats are available in three sizes—800 lbs, 1500 lbs, and soon at 1700 lbs. Installation of Z-FLOATS proceeds with calculation of center of balance, center of buoyancy, center of lift, angles of incidence and the forces acting on your combined aircraft/float system in order to insure optimal placement of the floats and connections. Meticulous attention is paid to installation of struts, hydraulics, electrical systems and control cables, then prep and paint your floats and add boat cleats. All Z-FLOATS installations are test flown and tweaked for safety and performance before returning the aircraft to you.

The Z-Floats will be on display at AirVenture this week.
