Combining the Gweduck’s advanced hull with its counter-rotating propellers means differential power allows crosswind water taxiing impossible in floatplanes along with higher hull-in-water taxiing speeds. “We Just recognizable in the background is a horizontal stabilizer and one-piece elevator. A not so obvious advantage is taxiing.
