A seaplane is an aeroplane which is capable
of taking off from, and landing on, water.
There are two major types, floatplanes and
flying boats. The floatplane is similar to an
ordinary aeroplane but has floats in place of
wheels, the flying boat has a broad hull
shaped like a boat and may also have floats
attached to the wing tips.
