That layout seems to put the prop awfully close to the water.

... maybe it serves as propulsion in multiple environments. B)

It'd be interesting to see a prop that tried to hit optima in air and water...

It isn't like it is easy to get both takeoff and cruise from the same prop!

The company website has additional pictures, including a line drawing that shows the prop diameter. It seems to be tucked up pretty near the bottom of the main fuselage. But it might be significant that the web page has no mention of an amphibian version. I think that one would need a new lower fuselage. The current renders are definitely not amphibian.

My first thought is that it was designed for flying with the wife and kids...
