The Twin-Bee wasn't the answer, neither was this: The failed Canadian development of the Republic RC-3 Franklin powered amphibian. Heard of it? The "new" See-Bee would be known as the Trident Tri-gull Amphibian. Aerodynamic improvements (and some hydrodynamic improvements) aside, it was powered by the dubious Continental Tiara 6-cyl, 285 hp, 406 cu. in. horizontally opposed air-cooled engine. Ultimately, it was a failed marketing attempt, resulting in huge dollar losses to investors and some losses to the public in the form of tax payer money.
What could we do now to the See-Bee, with existing engine technology? Is the basic design marketable?
