Lisa Akoya

The Lisa Akoya looks pretty interesting. It can operate from land, snow or water without configuration change.

Backcountry Tundra...it is what I call 'spendy'!!! When they were first developing it I seem to recall it was in excess of $300K.

Re: Lisa Akoya

How do they figure a snow landing with those fins hanging down?

Looks a lot like the Icon's market, too...

Looks like with the landing gear down, the "fins" hand out far above the ground. See those fins on Beaver Testing in the US to have them come out of the water ASAP. Pretty neat!
