Top 5 Amphibious Aircraft (International) | Price & Specs

In this episode, we're sharing our list of the top amphibious aircraft from international brands or aircraft manufacturers, together with their price and important features. This follows our most recent video on amphibious aircraft from North American companies. Stick around to see the number one aircraft on our list!

Amphibious aircraft or seaplanes have a marked advantage over conventional aircraft since they can travel faster than boats and can get closer to their target destinations whether on land or sea. They can be quite useful for long-range air-sea missions, as well as an effective mode of transport in remote areas.

The Dornier Seastar gets my vote and the Chinese 4 engine amphibian was very interesting. That one reminded me of Martin Marlin flyingboat.

[kellywellington]

Dornier Seastar has been a favorite of mine since I first saw it years ago. I'd love to ride in it, as it is way out of my budget.

[joecadham]

Great presentation, keep up your excellent work.

[tomlindsay]

I love the Dornier, it incorporates design features introduced by Claudius Dornier that date back to 1915, yet it's up-to-the-minute modern.

[richardbertrand]

My Favorite is the Dornier Seastar Because of the Distance and the Passenger Limit.

[jimmysparks]

Love the Dornier.... twin turbo-props... how awesome ...

[AmigaD]

Interesting video. I have followed a number of these airplanes and I have always loved the Dornier Seastar. A couple of airplanes to consider for any future videos. The Shin Meiwa US-2 is an outstanding aircraft that has been around in earlier versions (US-1) since the 1970s. It deserves to be on your list. There are also a number of Russian designs that aren’t on here. Examples are the Borey LSA and LA-8 amphibians as well as the SeaBear amphibious flying boat. I am still waiting for the final design that Burt Routan is working on and I hope to see it soon. Don’t forget the various Beriev amphibians which is a Ukrainian company. In particular, I like the Be-103 and the Be-200. Thanks for the video and I look forward to your next one.

Personally, I would have made two parts to this video Single Engine Sea and Multi-engine Sea and that way the Progressive Aerodyne’s Searey would have potentially made the list since it’s been flying for over 28 years and the company has sold nearly 800 aircraft worldwide.

Watching your content is becoming an after work ritual.

[kabayanadventuretv]

Why not include icon A5, where it folded wings and not mention in your vlog, it is made in USA.

[Shinichiro_Higuchi]

ShinMaywa US-2 is the best amphibious aircraft that employs boundary layer control technology for enhanced STOL and stall suppression performance.

You have Super Petrel LS misspelled as Super Petrol LS in the third video chapter.

[SpatialGuy]

Nice job covering all the specs on each 👍 I'll order a Dornier and have it fitted out like a motor home. 'Aircraft Federation', that's the right billing name? Cheers, Michael 🇦🇺

[richardbertrand]

I Also Like the Avic Jiaolong for its Passenger Capacity and the Distance Limit. The Price Mention did not seem too Extreme for what it Provides and for the Remote Areas that it can Access on Land and Water.

[morinjuncker]

These are all exceptional aircraft, however my preference hands down would be the Grumman Goose.

[itinensanzen]

Hey where are the Beriev, theres no mention to them. Very capable seaplanes for sure.

What about Equator? There are two types of this aircraft: one is old Pöschel Equator (Germany), and new Equator from Norway.

[billtev]

Dornier Seastar is a marvel and the price is very reasonable.
