Grumman G-73 Mallard

Sarah Larranaga is breathing new life into a timeless classic with this project: a modernized, hybrid-electric evolution of the Grumman G-73 Mallard. As a globally recognized private jet designer, Sarah has envisioned this concept as a seamless bridge between land, water, and sky, merging the golden age of amphibious flight with tomorrow’s sustainable technology.

Sustainable Engineering Meets Timeless Versatility

The heart of this bespoke Grumman G-73 Mallard lies in its innovative hybrid propulsion system. Designed for the eco-conscious traveler, the aircraft features a 30-minute battery-powered flight capacity, supported by a fuel-efficient backup turbine engine that extends the total range to three hours.

Sarah’s "systems-thinking" approach ensures that this is more than just an aesthetic upgrade. The aircraft is outfitted with:

  • The Latest Glass Cockpit: State-of-the-art avionics for precision handling.

  • Advanced GPS Navigation: Modern tech for global connectivity.

  • Environmentally Friendly Power: A quiet, clean electric propulsion system that reduces the carbon footprint without sacrificing performance.

A Marine-Inspired Masterpiece

The exterior of the Mallard has been reimagined with a sculpted, marine-inspired hull and a striking pearl-white finish, accented by refined metallic details. Sarah Larranaga’s signature touch is evident in the transition from the rugged capability of a sea-plane to the sleek profile of a modern luxury asset.

Inside, the cabin is a masterclass in bespoke private jet design. Drawing inspiration from elite yachting, the interior features:

  • Lightweight Carbon & Wood Details: Balancing strength with organic warmth.

  • Water-Resistant Flooring: Durable luxury designed for island hops and dockside boarding.

  • Soft LED Lighting: Creating a tranquil, airy atmosphere that mimics a private lounge.

  • Discreet Storage: Optimized for resort travel and effortless escapes.

Tailored for Every Mission

Whether configured as a private VIP sanctuary, high-end corporate transportation, or a rapid-response emergency vehicle, Sarah Larranaga ensures the layout is precision-engineered to meet specific operational needs. As a top private jet designer, Sarah’s focus remains on creating an aircraft that isn't just a mode of transportation, but a highly personal, quiet, and clean "private escape" for those who refuse to be limited by a runway.
