The Coot is a homebuilt amphibian that features high-lift wings which fold for
trailering and which do not require flaps. They emerge from the mid-hull for superior
ground effect during water take-off and landing. Because the wing roots (sponsons)
rest on the water there is no need for wing-tip floats. The low wing also allows for
a lower center of thrust, and safe and maneuverable handling during step-taxiing.
The Coot can take a variety of suitable modified auto or standard aircraft engines.
