Technology
The SeaMax is built with high-tech materials, such as carbon fiber, Kevlar ® (Aramid Fiber), fiberglass, stainless steel and aircraft aluminum and goes through a strict quality control, both in confection of parts as in the other processes of painting and assembly.
The exterior design conception of SeaMax was a challenge for the harmony between its beauty and its hydro and aerodynamic efficiencies. From the beginning the goal was to design a unique aircraft, with smooth behavior, which have an excellent performance in flight and in the water.
In his first 10 operational years, the M22 has been the cover in over 25 international specialized magazine covers and has received the award for best "two-seat amphibious aircraft" in the world several times. The latest award was received in April 2012 by the North American Fair in Lakeland, USA, as "Outstanding best commercial S-LSA"(Special lights sports aircraft) competing with 30 other manufacturers.
