Well, yeah. It also has no step. And whenever I see a fantastic new
amphib or seaplane design without a step, I wonder, "have these guys
ever actually had to unstick an airplane from water?" And too nearly
always, the answer is, no, they haven't.

I suspect the hydrofoils lift the fuselage out of the water, removing
the need for a step. They did do testing with scale models, so it
might actually work.

Did you note that the canopy was equipped with a yaw string? One of
the benefits of sticking the engine behind you.
