The AAC SeaStar is an amphibious biplane currently produced in kitplane form, but soon to be available as a ready-to-fly aircraft. The aircraft is built largely of composite materials and features wings that may be easily removed for transport, and a ballistic recovery system in the form of a parachute that can be deployed from the engine nacelle.

Note that this aircraft should not be confused with another composite-built small flying boat, the SeaStar Aircraft SeaStar
