Dornier Seastar CD2 Amphibious Aircraft Family
The Dornier Seastar is a twin-turboprop amphibious flying boat whose composite hull, retractable landing gear, and tandem push-pull engines are intended to combine maritime access with conventional-aircraft range and handling. Originally certified after 1980s flight testing, the design was revived as a new-generation program with a digital cockpit and updated systems. Flight-test prototypes support renewed certification work for private, corporate, commercial-passenger, cargo, and special-mission applications.

- Notes
- Dornier Seawings specifies two PT6A-135A turboprops in an in-line push-pull arrangement. The deployed placement enum has no fore/aft-push-pull value, so the relationship uses airframe and preserves the exact layout in variant notes.
