Uniquely amphibious
X-Plane Seaplane is the first X-Plane Mobile app to focus on water operations. All five aircraft included with the app are amphibious, so they can handle taking off and landing on the water as well as on paved runways.
X-Plane Seaplane features not only airplanes, but also the Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King amphibious helicopter, which adds a new kind of challenge to the simulator. Can you hover over the water and descend for a smooth landing in the helicopter?
X-Plane Seaplane’s flight and water dynamics are, of course, realistic, and the new water rendering is pretty impressive. The swimming and flying challenges in this app make for a lot of fun!
Included aircraft
Five aircraft are included in X-Plane Seaplane:
- the Canadair Bombardier 415, a twin-engine water bomber,
- the Republic RC-3 Seabee, a tiny, post-WWII, all-metal plane with a “pusher” propeller,
- the Grumman Goose, a versatile, twin-engine, eight-person transport,
- the Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King, a popular all-weather, search-and-rescue helicopter, and
- the Cessna 172, outfitted with amphibious floats.
