Design and development

The Triton is a single engine pusher aircraft with three fuselage sections joined by a mid-wing and a Double-V shaped tailplane. Amphibian and electric hybrid variants are planned.[1] A ballistic parachute will be integrated into the design.[2] Under development by Micronautix, a division of Bob Smith Industries, Inc.

A turbofan powered Triton could lead to an amphibious version.
The Triton has an unusual double-V tail.
Future hybrid versions of the Rolls-Royce turboprop will give 20 minutes of near silent flight over viewing areas.
The Triton is a flight experience aircraft that will link passengers to the magic of flying.
