F2Y Sea Dart

with that much power on tap, mindful of era, it seemed to take a long time to get into the air.

Fantastic sea plane. has anyone build this as a RC plane ?

Really amazing!!!

Cool video. Where is the picture taken?

wow, they can do that with a plane!!!! The pilot must be skill to land this.

thanks for the info

When the aircraft was sitting on dry land out of the water, it tilted backwards on its extended skis, its tail resting on the ground. Each of the twin retractable hydro-skis had a small fixed wheel at its aft end, and there was a small fixed swiveling tailwheel mounted underneath the rear fuselage. This provided for a limited amount of ground maneuverability, which made it possible for the aircraft to enter or leave the water via a long ramp under its own power. However, the aircraft could not take off or land on conventional runways.

Was it an amphib (floats and wheels)?

Interesting plane and nice detailed video.

Incredible that they can do that!

Incredible, I thought only the russian had developped jet-propelled seaplanes (Beriev-200). THe landing must have been quite nasty at such a speed on water...
