HPC Expands Aviation Portfolio with Seawind 4-Seat Amphibian Aircraft Saudi Arabia
HPC has expanded its corporate aviation offerings by becoming an authorised reseller for the Seawind 4-seat amphibious aircraft Saudi Arabia. Designed for private pilots, corporate charters, and remote transport, this light amphibian aircraft combines long-range performance, luxury cabin comfort, and multi-surface landing capabilities across land and water.
High-Performance Cross-Country Aviation Metrics
Engineered to operate as a high-speed cross-country aircraft, the Seawind model features a 310 HP Continental IO-550-N engine alongside a 76-inch 3-blade constant-speed propeller:
-
Top speed reaches 200 mph at sea level, equivalent to 174 knots.
-
Cruising speeds operate at 190 mph at 75 percent power and 180 mph at 65 percent power.
-
Standard flight range covers 1,040 miles, expanding to 1,460 miles with auxiliary fuel tanks.
-
Climb rates achieve 1,250 feet per minute fully loaded, reaching an 18,000 foot service ceiling.
-
Fuel efficiency averages 12.8 to 13 gallons per hour during economy cruise settings.
All-Terrain Takeoff and Landing Capabilities
The structural design enables seamless transitions across diverse geographic terrains and water conditions:
-
Operationally certified for saltwater, freshwater, gravel, turf, and tarmac landing surfaces.
-
Short takeoff distances require 870 feet on land and 1,100 feet on water at 3,200 lbs gross weight.
-
Water maneuvers require only 18 inches of draft depth, allowing direct power access onto dry land.
-
Smooth takeoff execution on glassy water completes in 19 seconds without generating disruptive wake waves.
Safety Architecture and Executive Cabin Design
The aircraft cabin accommodates four adult passengers with elevated legroom and wide panoramic views:
-
Interior cabin includes front bucket seats, 6-foot deep luggage storage, and fold-down rear seats for sleeping.
-
Environmental controls feature quiet air inlets, heating vents, ceiling fans, and windshield defrosters.
-
Airframe engineering withstands plus 15G and minus 9G force loads for structural durability.
-
High-mounted engine placement protects propellers from water spray while reducing environmental noise impact.
