This thing looks like a jeep you can take anywhere.

Weasle = Wiesel 2 made in Germany 😀

Troll Cheryl Rivard-Baker, you are a LIAR and YOU are REMOVED.

electronicgrinsch: "The Wiesel is bulletproof up to 7.62 mm and gives protection against shell splinters. Besides, most people here don't understand the role of the Wiesel. It is used and was designed as a support vehicle..."

Active Protection Systems (APS) can make Wiesels and other light tracked tanks like M113 Gavins ATGM and RPG protected. ONLY light tracked tanks can traverse through CLOSED TERRAIN or fly easily by available aircraft for 3D Maneuver. The TRADE-OFF is LIGHT TANKS or NO TANKS. No tank you. Light Tanks for the WIN.

did not know the seawolf existed

Wow looking from outside you wouldn't think 6 people would fit in it . looks like it could have a lot of usefull roles

Not clever from the Army to cancel the project. It's not like they need huge amounts. A fleet of 300-400 of these will do the job. For Special Ops, Special Forces and Seal air drop sting operations against hostile groups and for freeing hostages vehicles like these are essential for dominance. Take 60 seals and 6 of these equipped with 20mm cannons and the Benghazi US Embassy ordeal would not have went down the way it did. They could have shut down the whole city with that little force.

I WANT ONE..

I could definitely see that as a daily driver!

What is the nose thing on the seaplane? Long with a bulb out front? time 7:27

Annie, what, in your view would be the ideal small military "seal team" airplane? I am designing an airplane (seaplaneguy) that may work well. I can scale it from a 20 passenger (full scale) to a 1 passenger (1/3 scale). The small one can go 300 mph if need be. The all can drive down the road and wings fold while driving at speed. It has three modes of landing: 1) conventional at 60 mph , 2) power on lift at 30 mph, 3) VTOL. The useful load goes down the slower it lands, max 3/4 and 1/2. It can take off conventionally with heavy fuel loads (2400 miles) and then do VTOL at the destination, for example. People can walk out the front and can stand up inside, thus allowing people to put on gear, dress as needed. Bunks and toilet in larger versions. Camping "walls" fold down from the wings that are insulated for extreme cold weather camping. Land on a snow covered mountain, camp etc. The cockpit max width is 72 inches for the 20 passenger model (full scale) and scales down to 24 inches in 9 size increments. They all fly the same. They use only one engine and different number to allow for cruise speeds of 140 to well over 250 mph. Pilot can be in back, up high, and all passengers forward, thus allowing quick exit with the pilot still at full control (great for assaults). Side exists also. Pilot had rear exit too. The tires allow extreme rough fields. Gear can allow parachute drop of entire airplane without damage (4-6 feet of stroke). Can land in extreme wave conditions depending on landing modes and size. VTOL can land in water, then silently continue on to beach via aux power that thrusts via water, not props....no noise. Has wheel drive(s) for no prop movement (silent motion on ground. Can land on roads. power on lift landing distance is 50 feet at 30 mph. Has many engines. Get one engine damaged or shot up, no big deal. So, how many is the idea small team? Useful loads? Interesting in discussion so I can find one or more of the sizes that might be interesting. Instead of having Hummvees or road machine, this would be all. One for five soldier for example. Cheaper to drive than suburban. For example, one pilot in back, four soldiers. Drop off four and take off in ultra quiet mode (low power, low prop speed) and loiter at 70-80 with 2 gal/hr with five place. Cruise 10 gal/hr at 160 mph, more power faster, up to 250+. Can have 2- 19 engines depending on size (space inside) and power demands. One engine model runs ALL nine airplanes. Larger sizes have two engine joined to create twice the power per prop, for example. So, support only needs ONE engine to support ALL nine sizes. This cuts spare parts. Loss of engine is not mission critical or logistics critical. Small inventor. An assault group of 10 airplanes could have one spare engine just in case...for example. Can run on few engines if need be, but in conventional mode. Eliminates need for large transports. Small is better. Not target for missiles. Can put ATVs, jet skis, motor cycles and snowmobiles and stuff in larger sizes. Much better than helicopter for medical transport.... Need to consult with someone who knows what the military needs and who has experience with ops. I once worked as Civilian at AF base.... Bro Lt Col. Interested? seaplaneguy@msn.com

its like a BMW Armored Family Van w/ built in tracks

SeaWolf Amphibian (SWA): Roles & Missions ua-cam.com/video/dPwJXrHjP0s/v-deo.html

Fuck the army. I want to buy this for my daily commute!

Looks something like the Dornier SeaStar,

Just keep it a secret! And power it by a turbine-engine!

Thats pretty cool!!

Looks like a Lake Renegade in camo.

too bad no mention of ICON A5

Sea Wolf was a Special Warfare Group of heavily armed US Navy Choppers that provided back up for extraction of Navy Seal Teams in Viet Nam ...

It reminds me of the old Republic Sea Bee amphibian. Some of them oare still flying.

Wow what an incredible plane - Is there a civilian version?

1:35 Scale Model Weasel 2 www.squadron.com/Revell-Germany-Wiesel-2-LeFlaSys-p/rg3205.htm

what the hell is a hazardous material container??? on the outside pylons ..a bomb?

I definitely believe there is a need for flying boats, but this aircraft is generally to small to haul enough men and equipment to meet most military missions, they just need to put the Grumman Albatross or Mallard back into production.

What's the deal with the split elevator? Nice plane :)

So why hasn't the piston engine been replaced by a turbine engine? AVGAS is an expensive fuel and not available every where. With the NAVY landing craft be turbine powered it would seem the way to go.

that looks like a modded lake renegade or buccaneer

Looks like the old Colonial Skimmer/Lake Amphibian to me. An easy plane to fly.

The US Coast Guard HH-60 Jayhawk helicopters replaced the HH-3 Pelican helicopters. The HH-52's were replaced by the HH-65 "Dauphin" helicopters.

very cool airplane....

The other nice feature of the new drop pontoon/fuel pods is when u fly out to some where remote u r leaving then fuel. This way u r lean & efficient on the return trip. Later on when empty all the pods can b flown back out when river ships return or improvement to landing make large planes poss(big plane alone comes every 3 month kind of thing). After see just how bad the land sights can b, I would make the double sized tires all rubber. If when the gear is fully retracted it still stick out a bit the grass & belly landing is even poss, w/certain sea plane hull shapes.

This is r real biggest advantage over youger, or newly advanced Navies, r ppl & ships n reserve. This should b given priority over high dollar stealth planes. It put the most ppl back to work to. U can retrain or newly train ppl n 6months, but r manufacture base is pathetic NOW. The ship industry has cut down to only a few big players left standing. New ship from scatch to sea would take twice as long as WW2 days, even w/robot welders & plasma cutters, because great knowledge, skilled ship workers r 60yrs + old NOW(they anti pulling 12hr +shift 6 days a week).

PPL should demand a real world time table to but to sea the reserve fleet for every ship. If work the list n reserve like the way u do triage on the battle field,. The least sick or hurt gets priority, & the dying die till the end. See if they can cut the entire fleet down to 3 to 6months. Any thing over a yr is not going to b used n a modern med hot war. Even 2 regional zone hot wars against real foes would b the same, & see 1/2 r fleet damaged(out of the fight) & 20% sunk worst case(modern torpedoes don't play). HERE comes this little plane to the rescue(300+ need just for usa).

another option if faced w/extreme weather rescue, at distance, could b when the new external fuel/pontoon were dropped after landing, they could quickly b ridged together w/something added from the plan. If u r max size or weight at least leaving more flotation system gets last 2/3 guys out of frigid water, till follow along air craft can save them.Also I was remained that back n the day b4 helo, many ships would crane these over the side. NOW we hve smaller boats w/out helo decks & these seem a spot u could fill, seeing how light your craft is, if the wings folded or what ever is needed to stow. This is a huge # of ships. At the least mail & crew transport runs n a crunch time situation could b filled on the cheap if the Navy had more of these. This frees the expensive helos to stay on more important tasks they can only fill. The old ways r even faster or cheaper & usually better, but we like the flash, see pencil vs Seinfeld Astronaut pen. If u can show there is a need that your plane can fill on the cheap+ training & such core tasks, the #s usually sell them selves. 200+boats where there is a need, & can b met for a 1/6 of the cost or what ever w/small tweaks to increase custom fit. Of coarse the small the Navies the more likely the need for other countries. It all come down to weight, sea worthiness, range & avionics to get the job done, & custom fit features. A lot of boats hve side launch ridge or back. during a hot war these smaller & non helo boats will hve to b at sea twice of long as normal. This smaller scale ship is the kind they can scramble to put to sea when the shooting starts & they realize again r 270 ship Navy + reserve & ghost needed to b 350 front line (or 1 month to put to sea capable). The cold reserve is usually is a yr. So being crane or ridged launch for most ships means a major + n their endurance & rescue. There will b a 1000% increase n over the horizon search & rescue when ppl shoot at the aircraft(LIFE & death issue golden hr).

Usually if the pontoon interferes w/ the tail & rudder u need a vtail or twin tail. The twin tail design also means a door could opened/lowered n the back, making loading & unloading easier. Watching building Alaska the planes hve twice as large tires for landing on poor & bad runways. They fly every thing n at 500$ min per trip. Every lb of extra weight or bulk is a GOD send. They don't use the sea planes though, but the private pilots do.

If the extra fuel tanks were twice as big n height & length it would hve float pod/ fuel tanks. This would give it 3 pnt landing on water & less draft/drag on take off. If it was over weight on the way n or out it could just boat 1st 50 miles till fuel weight = safe take off weight. N a remote place n bad weather rescuing 3 or 4 ppl at least out of the water could b huge.

If wish it had the puller & pusher prop to make up for added drag of the support.
