Narrative:The sole prototype of the amphibious plane FT-300 was ruined in a typhoon after successful flight tests in 1994 (Wei et al., 2011). The last contemporary record of this aircraft was that it passed a technical evaluation in early 1996 (Anonymous, 1996). Maybe it was destroyed by Typhoon Herb when the powerful cyclone struck southeast China in the summer of 1996, but this is purely guesswork in that Wei et al. (2011) did not provide any further information.
