I've always wanted to own a seaplane.. That would be part of my absurd quarter-life fantasy, where I live somewhere in the South Pacific, perhaps Micronesia.

Seaplanes are the only way to travel. Of course the main problem with modern seaplane design is that it is adapted from the standard airplane model.. so to perfect it, I retrofitted the standard design with a new and superior VTOL system. Now when you're island hopping, you can land in that secluded crater lagoon without the bothersome necessity of a secret tunnel or calm sea. In addition to the VTOL improvement, I've added a 300kW ATL (Advanced Tactical Laser) to the front of the plane.. because you never know when pirates might try to ruin your idyllic Piña Colada sipping escapades.

Took about 5 hours to build, over the course of two revisions. Seating for 2.

  • How exactly did you make it float? I've been trying to put together a seaplane script for awhile but could never do so without nerfing flight.

  • @squall12990 It's a stupid old trick, but you can wear it, although in this video I think I was just moving it around with the build tool. There are a few good scripts out there, I've seen them, but they are very rare and expensive.

  • So, basically a (1945)Ba 349 Natter

    with pontoons...

  • Wow, I just looked up the aircraft you cited, even looks like it! Those crazy German engineers sure had some forward-thinking ideas.

    Personally I think electric turbines are a little more practical that rocket propulsion though ;)

  • whats this software

  • Second Life, google it.

  • Should be a jumbo jet, flying boat passenger aircraft, it won't have to fly high so there won't be death even after accident.

  • im downloading second life now, thx to this vid

  • Perhaps, the peroxide t-stoff + c-stoff

    (hydrazine), was dangerous as hell. but future unmanned devices may well use similiar.

    Keep looking, learning & designing...

    We need future thinkers like u who can appreciate what came b4!

  • It would be better if you would show it actually flying.
