Two aircraft. One platform.

Seahorse aircraft are a new class of very-low-altitude, crewed, twin-engine VTOL. Both models are lift-and-cruise designs — separate rotors for lift, separate propellers for cruise — sharing one cabin and one propulsion system.

01 · Front

A cabin built for the view.

A wraparound canopy gives all six passengers a front-row view of the coastline.

02 · Rear

Seahorse to the tail.

Twin fins carry the seahorse — a design to be assembled and certified in Sri Lanka.

03 · Profile

Lift and cruise, separated.

Dedicated lift rotors for vertical flight; a propeller on each engine for efficient forward flight.

Same cabin. Same propulsion. Different missions.

The only key difference is the wing. Everything else — seats, luggage, power pack and safety architecture — is shared, which keeps training, maintenance and spares simple.
