Balladeer Light Air Raft (Civilian Aircraft)

The Balladeer is a fast light air raft intended for use by individuals. An extended seating version is available with the inline roomy seats replaced by a two by two cramped seat group, but that variation is not popular. A small array of sensors gives some limited all weather capability, but reduced speed would be prudent under such circumstances.
