Nice digging Go4!

Like the correlation to the VLJ's the best.

"Adelaide-based Tigerfish Aviation is working towards showing a full-size prototype of the Retracting Amphibious Pontoon Technology (RAPT) at the Oshkosh 2010 show on a small, modern aircraft such as an Eclipse 500 very light business jet or a Cirrus SR22 piston single."

"Tigerfish is seeking stage one growth funding, in the region of $4 million, to cover 12-18 months from next February. "This will allow us to build up our team, develop markets and undertake a prototype installation on a light aircraft," says Rudduck. Tigerfish is talking to a number of potential technical partners, including a US prototype house, a European centre of excellence in carbonfibre and several aircraft manufacturers in the USA and Europe, he adds"

gftb,

An interesting video interview of Saxon Ruddick (Managing Director - Designer and Inventor) of Tigerfish Aviation. He said, "floatation around Chicago is ideal for our long term plan of introducing seaplanes back into regional transport..." Mr. Ruddick also mentions they'll be looking to bring technology into the composite floats area...
