Catalina NG
Built for Land and Sea
Go Anywhere. Land Anywhere.
Catalina NG is a purpose-built amphibious aircraft, designed to operate with confidence on both water and land. With its robust construction, corrosion-resistant materials, and fully retractable landing gear, it’s engineered for demanding marine environments. Whether you’re exploring remote coastlines or operating in challenging terrain, Catalina makes amphibious flying remarkably intuitive, stable, and enjoyable.
True Amphibious Capability
Engineered for the Elements.
From its aerodynamic wing structure to its marine-grade composite materials, every part of Catalina NG is designed to perform in the harshest conditions. The aircraft’s hull and systems are optimized to resist saltwater corrosion, ensuring lasting durability. Whether docked or airborne, Catalina transitions seamlessly between water and runway.
Comfort, Visibility & Control
Confidence in Every Operation.
Inside the side-by-side cockpit, pilots enjoy excellent visibility and ergonomics. The instrument panel features a modern combination of analog and digital interfaces, including AvMap Ultra EFIS and EngiBox for real-time data, ensuring situational awareness and flight clarity at all times.

Concept & Purpose
Catalina NG is more than an amphibious aircraft—it’s a marine-ready platform designed for serious missions in diverse environments. Created in response to real-world demand for a versatile, cost-efficient seaplane, the aircraft brings together aerodynamic excellence, durability, and operator-friendly features in one streamlined design.
Structure & Marine Readiness
Unlike traditional airframes, the Catalina NG was engineered from the start to withstand the rigors of saltwater operation. Every material, joint, and process was selected for long-term corrosion resistance. Whether moored in coastal humidity or transitioning from waves to runway, its structural integrity and finish hold up over time.
Cockpit & Systems
The cockpit offers an intuitive, side-by-side layout with excellent visibility—critical for water maneuvering and low-altitude flying. Standard equipment includes the AvMap Ultra EFIS and EngiBox systems for full-flight and engine data, with analog redundancy for key metrics like airspeed and heading. This balance of digital intelligence and analog reliability supports both professionals and recreational pilots alike.
Wing & Hydrodynamics
The Catalina’s wing, derived from the Storch Classic, is optimized for low-speed lift, using a Junkers-style flapperon system with two flight modes: takeoff/landing and cruise. These allow for safe, controlled handling at low speeds during water takeoffs and landings—exactly where it matters most.
Options & Versatility
From folding wings to a ballistic parachute system, Catalina NG can be equipped to match your exact mission profile. Optional auxiliary wing tanks extend range, while standard fuel tanks are hull-mounted to optimize center of gravity and water handling. Whether used for patrol, training, or leisure, Catalina adapts—without compromise.
