Sponsons, which also house the main landing gear, provide waterborne lateral stability for the aircraft and a platform for ingress and egress. A retractable water rudder is used to provide waterborne maneuverability. Rudder pedals link the water rudder, nose wheel, or the aircraft rudder into a single, switch activated system. The vertical and horizontal tail form a cruciform configuration. The high-mounted wing, cruciform horizontal tail and engine thrust line parallel the plane s water line.
Standard instrumentation is included with the aircraft but an advanced CRT based system is optional.
The advanced cockpit maximizes the pilot s use of the VenTure s high performance capabilities. Variable pitch allows the VenTure to achieve maximum performance efficiency in all mission stages.
