Hi Henri,
Yes, I have a fixation with fixed floats but with purpose, many of my interests involve water, being able to land on it is relative to those interests.
I appreciate the clarification but that doesn't seem to answer why not much can be done with the Colibri in a "utility" sense when it seems the perfect platform for such work. For Ag work, power line work which in the US is apparently dominated by the MD500, fire suppression and so forth the safety aspects of the fenestron and small footprint lend itself to more maneuverability in confined spaces. It would seem the ideal ship for such applications yet Airbus seems uninterested in capitalizing on its inherent virtues.
