WHAT IS SPEED?
• Speed is the time ”Door to door”. From home to where you want to go, until you are there.
• The Seastar always win on short to mid ranges because it lets you travel to the nearest lake or river.
Between 50 - 200 NM nothing can compete in travel time. Below 50 NM Helicopter will win in time, but not cost.
200 - 1000 NM a Business-Jet can compete only if the traveler is going within 30 minutes from the destination airport.
From 1000 NM and more the Business-Jet will win on time, but not cost.
AIR TAXI OR BUSINESS TRIPS
• Because of the fast time from A to B, the Seastar will be a great aircraft for air taxi-, private- or business trips.
A FAST MULTIPURPOSE TURBOPROP
• The Seastar will cruise at more 300 kt at 25 000 feet.
• Fuel consumption on cruise is 37 GPH / 140L/h or2.5 liter per 10 km
This makes the Seastar a great aircraft for travel

ESTIMATED RANGE
LOW COST
LOW COST IS DEFINED BY
• Reasonable initial investment.
• Reasonable cost for flying the aircraft
• Reasonable cost for maintenance
CUSTOMER PRICE
• 1.5 MUSD Basic version
• 2 MUSD Search n Rescue, Surveillance and Police version
• > 3 MUSD Military spec.
If we would guess the customer prices
This is low cost compared to the alternatives
COST OF FLYING
• Fuel is 1200 SEK per hour or 6 SEK per NM or 1 SEK per person and NM. (assuming 10 RMB per liter and 6 persons) Because of the speed, this is about the same cost per km as a Cessna 172.
• Maintenance low because of the long overhaul times on the Walter / GE Engine and the low maintenance materials in the aircraft. Carbon fiber and stainless steel will last for ever.
Cost is fuel and maintenance.
LOW COST OF FLYINGwidens the market to the
private pilot’s
The low flying costs combined with the versatility will open this aircraft to the general private pilot’s bringing their family from their home to their summer house by some lake.
EASY & FUN
Instrumentation will be glass cockpit on production aircraft
EASY = SAFE = FUN
EASY TO FLY
• If you can fly a Cessna 206, you can fly the Seastar.
• The aircraft have no power to pitch relation witch is very good.
• The aircraft will not stall, only lower the nose and pick up speed.

SAFE TO FLY
• The Seastar is very stable.
• Have great handling characteristics.
• Will fly from 54 to 300 kt TAS.
• Will start and land on 300 meter runway.
FUN TO FLY• No other aircraft will let a
pilot go from a 600 meter dirt strip, fly 300 kt and land by the bridge on the waterfront.
• Great handling characteristics and speed makes it fun to fly.
• Low cost makes flying more joyful.
