6 SEP 06: SEEKER AFTER AMERICAN SALES

AUSSIE company Seabird Aviation is trying to crack the US market with its specialist Seeker aircraft - a hybrid with a helicopter-like cockpit and fixed-wing airframe.

The two-seat aircraft is designed for low altitude and low speed, with excellent visibility from the largely clear cockpit. It's intended for observation work such as police, border patrol and pipeline inspections.

The latest Seeker SB7L-360A, powered by a Lycoming 0-360, is being shipped to Seabird's US partner in Albuquerque.

"The Seeker will be demonstrated and trialled throughout America by organisations involved in observation and border security, said Peter Adams, Managing Director of Seabird Aviation. "I'm confident they will be impressed by its many advantages over the helicopter which is traditionally used in this role."

A four/five seat version of the Seeker is under development.
