A dream Come True

This is the future of ultralight flying. The AirDoo is cleaner, prettier, stronger and provides more utility than its competitors. This was accomplished by designing the AirDoo using the latest CAD/CAE. The ultralight is built with the newest and strongest composites using proprietary methods. If you are interested in ultralight aviation you really should look in here.

A Land Plane

The AirDoo can be assembled as a land airplane without water capability. It is lighter in this configuration. Building complexity is much less and the aircraft will perform better than the amphibian version.

There are many other aircraft that are land only and this would be just an improvement over some of them. The best advantage (amphibious operation) will be lost if this configuration is chosen. However the strength of the composites might make this configuration a good choice for some operations.

The high wing allows for rough terrain operations. Without the wing floats the ground clearance is very good.

Amphibian Of The Future

Amphibian is the magic word. Maximum capability at a reasonable price. Having both water and land capability opens the door to a wonderland of possibilities. Flying directly to your favorite fishing hole or visiting friends at the lake by just dropping in becomes a reality.

Design Concept

The natural inclination of a designer using a new material (composites in this case) is to build the entire structure using the new material. This is often not a good idea. Each material has its own characteristics that make it best for some part of the airframe. This was taken into consideration while designing and building the AirDoo. The fuselage is made of composite while the tail boom is made of aluminum. Each material providing its natural strength to the over all design.

The landing gear could be made of composite, but that would add greatly to the complexity of manufacturing and assembly. Medal is best for this item and that is what was used on the AirDoo.

Using Composites To Create A New Airplane

Is this the future of ultralight flying? Pour in a chemical and pull out an airframe? Seems to be possible. The AirDoo is cleaner, prettier, stronger and provides more utility than its competitors. This was accomplished by designing the AirDoo using the latest CAD/CAE. The ultralight is built with the newest and strongest composites using proprietary methods.

The AirDoo As A Fun Machine To Own And Fly

Can you see your self and a friend out for a Saturday morning flight. Maybe to fly over the roads of your home town and watch the folks fighting traffic on the roads below. Or perhaps fly over to the near by lake and drop in for a visit. Look at the scenery floating pass below your AirDoo and just enjoy living the dream of mankind by flying when and where you want to just as the birds do. That is perhaps AirDoo's best contribution to your life style.
