he Coot is a homebuilt amphibian that features high-lift wings which fold for trailering and which do not require flaps. They emerge from the mid-hull for superior ground effect during water take-off and landing. Because the wing roots (sponsons) rest on the water there is no need for wing-tip floats. The low wing also allows for a low center of thrust, with safe and easy handling during step-taxiing.
