Independent Aircraft is a company dedicated to the production of the SeaDragon Light Sport Aircraft and has the honor of being the first all composite amphibious aircraft specifically design for the LSA category, as published by Jane’s Intelligence Group in “Jane’s, All the Worlds Aircraft”. The SeaDragon incorporates cutting-edge technology and design with a primary focus of providing an affordable amphibious LSA aircraft that can outperform all competition.

Business Philosophy:
The aircraft manufacturing industry has been plagued for the past 40 years with aircraft companies promising to deliver products that are beyond their scope and range of feasibility, all the while taking deposits to supplement their research and development. The result is bankruptcy and lawsuits leaving the people who were hoping to one day to receive their product high and dry, out of their initial deposit. These companies supplement press releases for product, using smoke and mirrors and fancy marketing, to cover the reality that what they have promised is beyond reach.

Independent Aircraft does not take deposits. Because of the introduction of the LSA category, the price point to enter into manufacturing has been lowered such that taking deposits is a liability instead of an asset. Our reputation as an aircraft manufacturer is too important to be stained by impropriety and mismanagement so we do not put ourselves in this position. If you want to buy a car do you have to put a deposit on it? No. You find a car, you buy it, and you drive it away; that is our philosophy and one that sets us apart from all competition.
