Uhhh, does anyone else think this plane looks an AWFUL lot like a
Seawind?

And if so, does anyone else realize how LONG and nasty the Seawind
development/certification process has been? And these guys want to
add foils and other complications on top of the structural and
aerodynamic concerns of a high-mounted engine on the tail? Oof!

I don't care what a concept or prototype version can do, if you're
aiming for a production aircraft... See the Adam Aircraft A700
problems, or any one of a number of other aircraft in recent years
that had great flying prototypes but utterly failed when it came to a
production run. Making a single flyable aircraft is a totally
_different_ challenge from making an aircraft that can be serially
manufactured. There are many (sometimes competing) complications when
you have to take manufacturing processes and labor into account!

The difference may well be that the Adam and the Seawind are produced by people in the land of litigation, USA.

It do look similar to a Seawind, thats fur shur!
