Antilles Seaplanes Details
Antilles Seaplanes, LLC. is committed to effectively filling a national and international void through the manufacture, sale and support of the next generation of legendary amphibious flying boats. Antilles Seaplanes will build all new multi-engine turboprop seaplanes that will fly faster, farther, carry greater payloads and be able to land in rougher water than any other seaplanes in their class. Antilles Seaplanes benefits from the possession of critical FAA type certificates, engineering drawings and legacy tooling required to manufacture completely new models of the legendary Grumman G-21G Goose aircraft in a modern turboprop version. The ownership of Type Certificate 4A24 and associated supplemental type certificates cannot be underestimated, as it has saved research and development costs that have soared into the hundreds of millions of dollars for other start-up aviation companies. Antilles Seaplanes is poised to combine the design of the venerable and proven Grumman Goose with modern manufacturing methods and processes to create the world's only commercially viable, twin engine turboprop, amphibious seaplane, to be known as the Super Goose. Antilles Seaplanes is properly positioned to merge the reliable and efficient production methods of the modern automobile industry with the regulatory systems of the aviation industry to exceed all expectations in terms of time to market and overall costs.One of the unique strengths of the Super Goose is that it is equally comfortable operating from both land based airstrips in most any state of repair and water-based locations, including small islands, remote beach-front areas, river and lake habitats, alongside open water structures and vessels such as offshore oil rigs, ships etc. Whether for pleasure, corporate/government business or disaster relief from the tropics to the arctic – The Super Goose can get you there!
