Imagine: Being able to take off, land and fly over water. Man has invented many ways and machines to travel across water and through the sky but only one of these allows him to do both simultaneously - THE SEAPLANE . The FIB (two seater)is the simplest of seaplanes. A Hang Glider wing is mounted on a rigid inflatable boat and is powered by a ROTAX engine and controls are weight shift. Better still by removing the wing you can use it as a speedboat or by removing the boat and adding a set of wheels it becomes a motorized hang glider and can be operated over land. Welcome to a truly fun flying machine over land or water.  

History: The first powered seaplane dates back to 1910. In early 1980's the Malingri family well known for their spirit of adventure with vast experience in Hang Gliding, Skiing, sailing and powered hang gliding came up with the FIB and have sold over 1200 till date for fun, surveillance, work, adventure and travel all over the world .
