Adventure Awaits
Carbon fiber design; Lighter, Faster, Smarter.
Main Gear
Custom Designed Gearbox
- Minimizes displacement for improved floatation.
- Watertight seamless design, and easy access to hardware
- Easy-to-clean and service, ease of replacements.
Oleo Shock System
- Trailing arm link provides a no-bounce smooth ride.
- Metering pin tailored toward comfort during taxi, yet able to handle hard landings.

- Cost effective, easy to find and replace “off-the-shelf” seals and wiper rings.
Nose Gear
Sliding, Retractable Gear
- Utilizes a no-maintenance composite spring that eliminates soft forward diving in crosswinds or under braking.
- No wheel well, which provides maximum displacement efficiency.
- Aluminum bronze slide bushings designed to handle ultimate loads without damage.
- Optimal nose spring angle to reduce shimmy potential.
Nose Wheel Assembly
- Spoked wheel design eliminates water cavity.
- O-ring interface between wheel halves for better sealing and less maintenance.
- Standard “off-the-shelf” bearings.
- Manufactured from 6061 billet, anodized and top coated for long life corrosion protection.
Carbon Fiber Construction
Composite construction has revolutionized the float plane industry, and Aerocet has led the way from the beginning. No more leaks, and no more pumping.
The 1500 Float is impressively lightweight and strong, utilizing carbon fiber technology. For years, Aerocet has perfected the process of carbon fiber and composite floats, and they have proven to withstand the test of time. Experience the difference.
Hull Protection
- Aluminum keel wear strip that is exceptionally durable and easily replaced.
- Special aluminum chine rub strip designed to resist constant abrasion whiles also providing another seam overlap.
