MOTORISED AIRPLANE WITH MIXED HYDRODYNAMIC AND AERODYNAMIC STRUCTURE FOR TAKE-OFF AND LANDING ON WATER, GROUND OR SNOW

摘要

A motorised airplane includes a landing gear (17) with at least two legs (21) capable of retracting into the fuselage (11) via hatches (28). A pair of hydrofoils (16) is fitted to the base of the fuselage (11) in conformance with the ailerons used for lift and hydrodynamic stability, directed towards the base like a reverse V shape. The legs (21) of the landing gear (17) are each articulated around the pivot axes (20), fitted onto the hydrofoils (16). The landing gear (17) is dual-function, using wheels (18) or skis (19) suspended on legs (21). Applications: airplane for landing on water, ground and snow.
