Aviation Word Of The Day - Amphibian




 Amphibious aircraft or seaplanes are aircraft that can fly off of water or land. They can take off and land on both land and water.Others can even do so on snow.Those are termed tri-phibians.The wheels retract into the hull or floats, depending upon the type of aircraft.
 Tri-phibians on the other hand, are fitted with reinforced keels which act as skiis, allowing them to land on snow or ice with their wheels up.
