Coot Amphibian
The Coot is a homebuilt amphibian that features
high-lift wings which fold for trailering and which do not require
flaps. They emerge from the mid-hull for superior ground effect
during water take-off and landing. Because the wing roots (sponsons)
rest on the water there is no need for wing-tip floats. The low wing
also allows for a lower centre of thrust, and safe and manoeuvrable
handling during step-taxiing. There is no "kit," but contoured
fibreglass hull parts are available.
