THE AIRCRAFT

Meet Dornier Seastar

The Seastar uses two turboprops in a tandem tractor-and-pusher installation above the fuselage. Its boat hull and stabilising sponsons follow a recognisable Dornier flying-boat tradition, while retractable landing gear allows runway operations as well.

The programme has had a long development history since its first flight in the 1980s. Its layout is a useful contrast with aircraft that place one engine on each wing. The simulator's own model and manual identify the equipment represented rather than implying that all prototypes and later developments were identical.
