A pair of unbuilt floaty concepts based on Canadian airframes.
The first is the
Turbine Husky proposal from Vazar. Unlike their highly successful
Turbine Otter program, there were -- perhaps fortunately -- no takers for re-engining on the ultra-rare F.11
Husky. The project is still advertised on the Vazar website, though:
http://www.vazar.com/fairchild-husky-aircraft-project.htmlBeaver Aircraft Canada of Vancouver, British Columbia proposed a range of 'Next Generation' DeHavilland Canada aircraft including two DHC-3
Otter developments. The 'least-mod' version was to be the NG
Turbo Otter powered by a single PT6A-135 and featuring a slightly stretched fuselage and DHC-6-style tailplane.
The most radical BAC redesign was the NG
Super Otter. The DHC-3 fuselage was abandoned in favour of one very like the
Twin Otter. Power was to be a nose-mounted Soloy
Dual-Pack with twin P&WC PT6A-112s. Neither of these BAC
Otter proposals saw the light of day -- nor did their NG
Turbo Beaver or a scheme to revive (and totally redesign) the Trident
Trigull flying boat. In the end, Viking Air took over the licenses for those DHC products as well as the
Trigull amphibian.
The
Turbine Husky image is mine. The NG
Super Otter sideview was modified from an online profile of 440 Sqn CC-138
Twin Otter by (I think) Ugo Crisponi.
