Good to see a pilot here! I personally never see this aircraft ever getting certified. The SR22 was over $100 million total when getting their type certificate, and nothing was "ground breaking." It has a continental motor, Garmin avionics, NACA defined wing, etc. Sure, it's a composite and has a parachute, but I wouldn't call the design anything "revolutionary."
It's going to take hundreds of millions and an act of god to get this through the FAA. I don't see it taking the twin otter's place anytime soon.
edit: WIG out of FAA jurisdiction. Hope the Coast Guard is better to deal with!
- piloto_ciego 3y agoLike I said, all it takes is money! Lol. Good though that it’s a “boat” for legal purposes that will make things much easier.
