Gannet S100 is the hydroplane from COLYAER, S.L. made for enjoying in the air and above the water at the same time. It is totally manufactured with composite materials (Carbon fiber, Kevlar, Nomex, fiberglass,Epoxy …) which are completely corrosion free. Mechanical parts and screws are made of AISI 316 stainless steel A4 and anodized aluminium. These materials guarantee low maintenance, safety and long life even in salt water. The T-shaped Tail is also far enough from the ground to avoid the contact with waves. The side floats were designed for the lowest aerodynamic resistance and the highest features of floatability. The design and size of the wing gets a glied coefficient of 17:1 allowing termical flights with the engine out. The flaps operate from 0º on cruising flights to + 50º for short landings. With this aircraft you will experience a high security flying through a large surface of water independently from the height of the flight. With the carefully design and idealness of the hydro-fuselage the takeoff and landing distances we obtain are really incredible, between 200 and 300 meters. The generous V-shaped hull allows the using of the aircraft with waves up to 30 cm high, as well the high location of the wings avoids the crashing of the waves on it`s during the takeoff and the landing.
