Breaking Barriers, Building Futures
Elastic Creative has partnered with Project Seablade, a bold UK-wide initiative that aims to set a new world speed record for a piston-propelled seaplane. At its heart, this pioneering project combines aviation heritage and cutting-edge innovation, reviving the spirit of the 1930s Schneider Trophy and Britain’s world-class engineering legacy.

Seablade
Beyond the Record
Project Seablade has captured the imagination of industry, academia, and aviation enthusiasts alike.
The vision is clear:
- Inspire the next generation of engineers, designers, and pilots across the UK through STEM education and outreach.
- Design and build a 21st-century racing seaplane, a fusion of classic Rolls-Royce Griffon power and advanced recycled carbon composites.
- Break the long-standing piston seaplane record.
- Showcase Britain’s continuing leadership in aviation design and engineering.
Off to a flying start
The journey has begun, launched with our design of a striking Seablade brand identity and build of a phase 1 website, designed to create awareness, secure visibility, and begin the process of raising vital funding and partnership support.
The website serves as the project’s first digital touchpoint, capturing the excitement of the record attempt while laying out its wider mission in engineering and STEM.
A thrilling ambition
Project Seablade seeks to reclaim a title that has stood unchallenged since 1934, when Italy’s Macchi M.C.72 set a piston seaplane speed record of more than 440 mph. To bring the record home Seablade will create a spectacular feat of high-speed, low-altitude flight over water, projecting speeds of up to 500 mph.
