MIK-Dornier SeaTracer
Manufacturer
Dornier & MIK Aerospace

1997
Brief History
The SeaTracer is a special collaboration between the companies Dornier and MIK for the MrSilverWolf´s challenge. We have taken the design of the Dornier SeaStar and we have added new engines, reduced the overall size of the aircraft, applied a new buoyancy scheme, avionics, wing modifications, and more than 200 changes... In spite of everything, we have tried to maintain the essence of the original plane and I think we have achieved a very fun plane to fly and to land. Please, enjoy flying between islands, we invite you to the mojito ;-)
