Trying to repair anonymous censorship-
I moved this post:
PSA: a seaplane is probably not a viable AWES Lounge
Its a dubious hypothesis that “a seaplane is probably not a viable AWES”. After all the Albatross is a biological seaplane powered by AWE. Its a safer claim that Burt Rutan’s seaplane is specifically unsuited as an AWES model.
As it off-topic in the original topic. That topic is about:
Burt Rutan talking about designing his SkiGull seaplane
This is an invitation to listen to the podcast and perhaps learn something, and perhaps discuss similarities in requirements and solutions.
