Menasha, WI (July 1, 2009) -- Downwind Technology, located in Menasha, Wisconsin (www.downwindtechnology.com), a manufacturer and distributor of proprietary after-market aviation products announces the release of the newest generation of composite floats, the Shark Series III. This latest release is designed specifically for the experimental light sport (E-LSA) and special light sport aircraft (S-LSA) market.

The Shark Series III floats are the product of many months of customer feedback and industry intelligence to determine how to improve our world-class amphibious float system. Several improvements include a new proprietary composite lay-up formula, improved toe gear performance, sharper corners at the step to reduce take-off distance, larger float lockers and a deeper keel for better rough water handling.

“We are very excited about our latest development and with the great success of several proto-types, we are ready to introduce the LSA market to the Shark Series III Amphibious Float. Downwind Technology is dedicated to developing innovative products and we would like to thank our customers for making us the number one LSA float available on the market today,” said Downwind Technology President, David Cook.

The new Shark Series III floats are available from Downwind Technology as of July 1, 2009 and can be seen at AirVenture booth 660
