Excerpt from seaplanes
roberto barerra



2 flying boats have a fuselage, or body, that looks and acts like a ship’s hull. this hull enables them to float on water very easily. two small floats underneath its wings keep the flying boat stable in rough water. these seaplanes are usually larger and more stable on water than floatplanes are. a floatplane is a seaplane that has two long floats, called pontoons, under the fuselage. this is the only part of the plane that touches the water. unlike flying boats, floatplanes often come in a wide variety of sizes. an amphibious vehicle can be either a flying boat or a floatplane with wheels. this allows the aircraft to land on both land and water.
