Why use composite construction?
The average life of a fiberglass boat is approximately three times that of its aluminum engine and steel trailer. This alone is reason enough to consider composites, which are a second generation use of fiberglass in construction by introducing a foam core which allows the full benefits of the excellent compressive and tensile strengths of fiberglass. The canard configuration and composite construction allow the Velocity to be designed and built to +12/-9 G load ratings and still weigh approximately 300-400 pounds less than any other four-place aircraft, which explains its unmatched climb, performance, and efficiency. Every inch of the Velocity is functional, both in housing capacity and in lifting capacity.
