* This sale is being made by the Beriev Aircraft Company's Exclusive American distributor, Kent Linn. Beriev Be-103 Multi-Engine Amphibious Aircraft UNRIVALED

You are looking at one of the most unique general avation aircrafts of our time. Built by Russian aircraft company, Beriev, The Be-103 is a multi-engine, multi-purpose, amphibious wonder craft. This Be-103 is brand new and would retail for $795,000. This Aircraft is brand new and being offered directly by Beriev’s exclusive American distributor. Praised by several U.S. pilot association publications since 2003, the Be-103 has not been available for sale to the public until recently. This is a chance to be one of the first American owners of a truly extraordinary aircraft. Amphibious Be-103 will take advantage of: -Paved runways; -Unpaved runways, Unimproved fields. -Coastal boat launch areas equipped with slipway/ramp. -marinas, coves, harbors, lakes, oceans. -Land, Air, & Sea. Multi Purpose Be-103 is intended for: -Business and passenger transportation. -Tourism and recreation. -Coastal and marine patrol. -Ecological monitoring of waterways. -Marine search and rescue. -Rendering urgent medical aid. -Fishery reconnaissance -Forestry monitoring and fire patrol PERFORMANCE Service ceiling 17000 ft (5200 m) Maximum cruising speed at H=3000m 135 kts (250 km/h) Economy speed at H=9800ft (3000m) 120 kts (220 km/h) Maximum range (H=9800ft (3000m), 0.5 hour fuel reserve) 713 nm (1321 km) Flight endurance (H=9800ft (3000 m), 0.5 hour fuel reserve) 6 h Fuel consumption 14-16 g/h (38-43 kg/h) Take-off run (SL, ISA) (water/ground) 1804/1017 ft (550/310 m) Landing roll (SL, ISA) (water/ground) 984/1280 ft (300/390 m) Seaworthiness, sea state 2 (1.64 ft (0.5 m) wave height) Weights Max take-off weight 5004 lbs (2270 kg) Empty weight 3704 lbs (1680 kg) Payload 849 lbs (385 kg) Maximum fuel capacity 540 lbs (245 kg) Dimensions Length 34.94 ft (10.65 m) Wing span 41.73 ft (12.72 m) Overall height at rest 12.33 ft (3.757 m) Wing area 270.18 sq.ft (25.1 sq.m) Propeller diameter 6 ft (1.83 m) Wheel track 7.46 ft (2.273 m) Wheelbase 13.51 ft (4.118 m) Cabin internal dimensions Length 12 ft (3.65 m) Height 4.035 ft (1.23 m) Width 4.1 ft (1.25 m) Luggage compartment volume 28.2528 cub.ft (0.8 cub.m) Crew 1 (pilot) Passengers 5 Technical aspects include: o Superior amphibious design - 13 integrated float zones o Hydraulic braking o Landing gear suspension o Wings optimize ground/water effect o Tactical engine placement o Landing gear is lowered/retractable while in water, landing gear bays do not retain water o Reverse Pitch props The Be-103 light multipurpose amphibious aircraft is a monoplane with low-set water-displacement wing with a root strake, all-moving horizontal tail located in the propeller blow zone, and tricycle landing gear. A unique feature of the amphibious aircraft includes implementation of a water-displacement wing concept, which improves seaworthiness and stability when moving on water. Power plants are two IO-360ES4 piston engines made by Teledyne Continental Motors (USA) each rated at 210 h.p. The engines are mounted on horizontal pylons on both sides of the hull above the rear part of the center wing section, providing protection to the propellers against water spray during take-off and landing on water. The aircraft is fitted with MTV-12-D-C-F-R (M) variable-pitch three-blade reversible propellers which allow for easy manuvering on land and sea. The low-set wing (in relation to hull) provides for wing-in-ground effect during take-off and landing. Thanks to this feature the aircraft does not need flaps and can skim on the wings trailing edges. This also makes aircraft construction simpler. The hull is wide enough to provide a comfortable cabin for passengers and sufficient space for cargo and luggage. There are a total of 6 seats (1 pilot/5 passenger). When in basic configuration, the aircraft is fitted with flight/navigation equipment for Instrument Flight Regulation (IFR). *Power plants are two IO-360ES4 piston engines made by Teledyne Continental Motors (USA) – Parts & Service available. *All other aircraft parts will be available/serviceable within the Beriev Aircraft company's U.S. distribution center. Located in New Jersey (Sky Manor Airport) This aircraft meets U.S. Air Regulations FAA (FAR 23) requirements. See The Beriev Be-103 in action.

With one engine shut down at max gross, it is capable of a modest climb, and there is not a lot of yaw due to the inboard location of the engines. Unlike most twin seaplanes, it is a true multi-engine airplane, capable of holding altitude on one." The Transponder - Alaska Airmen's Association "Once on the step, the low wing makes maximum use of ground effect to reduce the liftoff speed, minimizing the airplane's exposure to water drag. Conventional seaplanes use flaps to achieve this same result. There is a certain elegance of simplicity in the Beriev's use of a one-piece wing to achieve what is usally done with the complexity of a wing flap system. Through the shrewdness of design, the Beriev designers have eliminated an entire system that entails moving parts and maintenance, as well as management on the part of the pilot." - Water Flying - Seaplane Pilots Association Publication CONTACT SELLER Question & Answer Q With the wings so low, how does this this do on rough waters taking off and landing? Looks like this thing could cart wheel you with a small swells to one of the sides at speed. Or cause the nose to plunge deeper under a wave, unlike the lake aircraft. I do find it an intriquing concept. But for the price one could buy one or two modified gooses. And in the winter how does the cold effect the wet air surfaces after take off? A Sorry for the delay of response as it took the expert himself to answer this one. In the water, The Be-103 is rated for half meter swells, 19 inches. Test pilots have pushed the craft well beyond, and it still performs exceptionally. Keep in mind: The plane is designed to optimize ground effect under the wings. Once on the 'step' or hull, wings will not be stabilizing the craft as it takes on a 'boat that can fly' characteristic. In the winter, cold water will not effect performance unless the water is frozen, in which case you have other issues. As for the gooses, best of luck to you. Chalks airline seemed to have a little problem recently, not to mention it is still just a goose and not a swan. Q Where can you get Flight instruction on this type aircraft? thank you A Beriev USA has two major airline pilots available on staff. Purchase of this aircraft will entitle the buyer to sufficient training and accommodation. (Training will not include multi-engine/seaplane rating or certification.) Q Does this have an airworthiness certificate. thanks A Assuming you are speaking of a U.S. Airworthiness Certificate, we can proudly answer yes! On July 31, 2003 the typecertificate of normal category according to FAR-23 American regulations for the Be-103 aircraft was aquired. This certificate was also attained in other countries including Russia, China, and Brazil.
