Industry Leaders Convene To Advance Water-Flying Technology
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) has established a Seaplane Working Group to advance the development and operation of seaplanes. The group, co-chaired by Bruce J. Holmes and Michael Dyment, aims to bring together industry, academia, and government stakeholders to address the challenges and opportunities of the contemporary seaplane market. With renewed interest in seaplanes driven by advances in technology and governance, the Working Group will focus on safety, certification, and infrastructure, and is expected to publish a white paper on contemporary priorities for the seaplane community.
