Icon A5 EAA Airventure 2008

Icon A5 light sport seaplane seen at EAA Airventure 2008 in Oshkosh Wisconsin. This beautiful little seaplane can be carried a on trailer like a boat, and launched at a boat ramp, or use retractable landing gear. With the wings folded I think it resembles a futuristic boat or spaceship more than an airplane. Powered by a 100hp Rotax 912 ULS engine burning auto or aviation fuel. "Intuitive, sports car-like cockpit" (has round speedometer like gauges for airspeed and altitude). Cruise speed 120 mph over range of 345 mi. The stuff dreams are made of.
