	Amphibious aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Similarly an aircraft which lands on the ground, if an amphibious version is required, will have to handle the extra drag and weight of floats.
		Amphibious aircraft which are based originally on land aircraft are usually not flying boats, therefore, but float planes.
		Amphibious aircraft have longer range than a comparable helicopter because an aircraft's wing is more efficient than a helicopter's lifting rotor.

	Marine Corps: Improving Amphibious Capability Would Require Larger Share of Budget Than Previously Provided (Chapter ...
		Although an amphibious assault was not conducted because of the additional time required to clear mines, the potential for damage to the Kuwaiti infrastructure, and the risk of casualties and loss of equipment, the threat of an amphibious assault held several Iraqi divisions in place, so that they could not be used for inland operations.
		Under this concept, for an amphibious assault, ships would be stationed 25 to 50 miles offshore, allowing them more range to defend against missiles, aircraft, and small boat attack, and the troops with their equipment would maneuver from ship to shore.
		An amphibious assault is a principal type of amphibious operation that involves establishing a force on a hostile or potentially hostile shore.

		Data submitted by industry participants has addressed FAA concerns about safety of retractable landing gear amphibious LSA, and the design in the exemption that was granted had features that FAA agreed as simple and safe in use and operation.
		For light-sport aircraft designed for operation on water: Is the gear designed to be moved in the air during a noncomplex phase of flight solely for the purpose of changing the landing site from water to land or land to water?
		The amphibious aircraft is intended for operation on land or water, so FAA expects that sometimes the position of the gear need not change.

		The effect of this error is that amphibious operations are not permitted in LSA aircraft.
		When the FAA released the Light Sport Aircraft rules in 2004, it defined "repositionable" landing gear for seaplanes, but clearly prohibited the repositioning of repositionable gear in flight.
		The Seaplane Pilots Association, concerned that buyers and investors could be left holding the bag if the FAA didn't recognize that the rule prohibits amphibious operations until months or years later, questioned FAA officials, and received confirmation that the rule in fact does prohibit amphibious operations.

	Aircraft and Amphibious carriers must submerge to avoid SSC destruction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)

		The new-design aircraft was the Douglas model 640, a turbojet attack aircraft with a flying boat hull.
		The aircraft's standard folding wings (for carrier use) would be supplemented by a folding tail fin, and it would employ a large rocket booster for launch from a "zero length" catapult.

	01/26/06 - EAA Asks FAA to Process S-LSA Application For Czech Aircraft Works Mermaid
		EAA’s position is, therefore, that since the FAA does not define the term “repositionable” the agency has no basis to deny any aircraft for a light-sport aircraft because of the method the aircraft uses, in essence, to “store” its landing gear.
		Exempts “aircraft intended for operation on water” from the paragraph (11) requirement for a “fixed gear‘’ in the definition of a light-sport aircraft, and
		EAA therefore contends that the Mermaid aircraft is eligible for an S-LSA airworthiness certificate, meaning there is no need for the applied-for exemption to meet the eligibility requirements for the referenced certificate.
