Aerocat Performance and Specs

Pilot and Passenger-Centered Design

Aerocat high above Lake Muskoka Composite Construction, 25 years of Design Experience and Solid Engineering sets the Aerocat apart from most amphibians on the kitplane market today.

Without a doubt, people are initially drawn by the unique design, swept wings and gracious contours, but what ultimately sparks their imaginations is that first step into the cabin. "I can't believe how much room there is in here," remarked one seasoned amphibian pilot at one of our visits to the EAA Event in Oshkosh.

The cabin is spacious, rivalled only by the venerable Seabee for interior roominess. Over 60 inches of "wide-living-space" welcome passengers in the back seat (57 inches wide up front), and the fold-away rear seats affords an option of providing access to some formidable camping and excursion options. This Aircraft is a very "passenger-friendly Cat"

Which is all well and good, but the ultimate test of any aircraft is what it provides for the pilot, who remains after all, the most integral part of the whole equation. Test Pilot Ted Dirstein has spent a lot of time in the cockpit of the Aerocat during flight tests, run-ups and a 2003 flight to Oshkosh. "Initially I remember being impressed with the visibility from the cabin. It reminded me of a helicopter." Ultimately though, Ted was most impressed by the Design Criteria and stringent and uncompromising engineering which makes the Aerocat a very "Pilot-Friendly" vehicle. "It's a lot of fun to fly and I'm very comfortable with its overall performance," says Dirstein who has over 10,000 hours on floats, twins and various "crop-dusters" on his resume.

Over 20 years of aircraft design experience, the eye of an artist and a certified float pilot's unmuddied dedication to safety conspire to imbue the Aerocat with flight redundancies unrivalled by any kitplane on the market today. Large control surface area will afford even the weekend pilot a full measure of security and confidence.
