seaplane

A seaplane is a type of aircraft designed to take off from and land on water, thanks to its specialized floats or pontoon-like structures. Unlike traditional airplanes that operate from runways, seaplanes can access remote or water-based locations, making them useful for transportation, rescue missions, and sightseeing. They combine features of airplanes and boats, enabling versatile travel over both air and water environments. Seaplanes are equipped with waterproof hulls or floats that provide buoyancy, allowing them to operate safely on various water surfaces.
