Introducing an Amphibious Aircraft

"Mallard Enterprises is designing the most versatile amphibious aircraft in its class. Our aircraft will be able to carry up to 19 passengers or 8,000 lbs of cargo and will be able to take off and land from physical runways or water.
The idea came from my father, a 30+ year USAF veteran with program management experience with Sikorsky. Our vision is to connect regions of the world that are not currently accessible to aviation. We are also inspired to create sustainable, high-quality jobs in the State of Maine.
By the end of my co-op, I hope to have the organization in the process of raising capital with multiple letters of interest/intent signed by commercial."
