If you read German, there's this: http://www.suedkurier.de/nachrichten/wirtschaft/profit/info/ausgelagert/art254022,2848632<P>Or try Babelfish's translation of it if you dare:<P>18.07.2007 12:45<P>First swimming attempts in the lake<BR>OF ANJA ARNING<P> <P>Announcement<BR>So verliebt man sich heute - FriendScout24 <P><P>Seemoos - there was the first water test: The new amphibious vehicle Dornier Stingray 007 successfully completed its first swimming attempts. The airplane was developed by the company Dornier technology in Uhldingen Muehlhofen. The first sea-committing (the aircraft manufacturers of "taxi tests" call) took place at historical place: Before Seemoos, where once Claude Dornier built and to water left its water airplanes.<P>Firm owner Irish Dornier sat personally to tax, when the airplane rolled secured by a line and held from a diver into the tides of the Bodensee. The results of the first swell were convincing. "even waves up to 70 centimeters height the airplane mastered - more than we expected had", said Dornier technology managing director Wolfgang wagner.<P>"on stage", thus in sliding, the two-seater, which can land both on firm soil and on water, came however not yet. The first flight few days later on the airport Friedrichshafen was however likewise successful. With the large Air Show in the American Oshkosh at the end of of July is to be presented the flier, that can become fast up to 200 kilometers per hour. The Stingray is to be sold particularly on the American market. Series production will likewise soon start. Christian Seyffert, director/conductor of the project, assumes in this year still further copies are built. "late are to be sold then 40 to 50 pieces per year", so to firm owners and Claude Dornier grandchild Irish Dornier. The first series prick skates (so the German translation of "Stingray" are built in Germany, later production might be shifted. Most likely on the Philippines, where Dornier lives Irish and Seair operates the airline.<P>The modern small aircraft leans against Claude Dornier "spirit level" from the year 1922.<P>Innovative construction<P>The prick skate for approximately two million euro and by subsidies as well as the Steinbeis Transferzentrum Stuttgart was developed. The engine of the machine possesses 115 HP, trunk and wing consists of glass and carbon fiber. Built the trunk the company Borowski from Winzeln in the Black Forest. A procedure unusual for airplanes was used: "the form was not decreased from a positive form, but the machines, which milled the form, were fed with the statements from the computer", explain Wolfgang wagner. On the airport Friedrichshafen electrical connection, electronics, flight control and the engine were inserted.<P>Irish Dornier has already the next plans: A 14-sitziges amphibian floats the developer forwards. "goes such a thing into completely different dimensions. However the documentation is at least 50-mal as aufwaendig as with a small aircraft as the Stingray ", describes Wolfgang wagner this ambitious project. First however the small prick skate from the steeped in tradition house Dornier must learn flies.<P><img src="inline/20071-Dornier_Stingray.jpg" alt="Dornier-Stingray"><!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML.

I was not impressed by the 1260 foot take-off distance.<br />Somehow that does not correlate with the low VS0 speed.<br />With first flight last July, they should have better data by now.

It would be interesting to learn how the engine and wing are supported above the cockpit area.<br /><br />I think the hard-points below the wings are neat ........... for carrying torpedoes probably, the war is over isn't it ????

I think the hard points you refer to are fowler flaps (but you are probably just pulling our collective legs)
