The Roylecraft Amphibious Jet Truck is a multipurpose amphibian developed by Covelink Marine Ltd of County Durham, England, alongside the Roylecraft Jet Bus. After tests with various general-purpose models, the company was developing 10-metre and 12-metre versions for demonstration and sale in 2004.
The 10-metre Jet Truck could be supplied to plane at more than 25 knots, or with its performance limited for economy on confined and inland waters. On the road it was designed to hold normal cruising speeds. It shares the family features of aluminium hull, retractable wheels and waterjet propulsion. The brief specification gives a length of 9.1 m, a width of 2.51 m, a diesel engine driving two wheels, a six-seat cabin and a load capacity of 1,750 kg. Quoted speeds are 60 mph (97 km/h) on land and 35 mph (56 km/h) on water.
