Seaplane

A seaplane is a special kind of airplane that can land on water. They are often used to reach places that are hard to get to by road.

Appearance

The Seaplane has a distinct body with large floats, or pontoons, beneath its fuselage, replacing traditional landing gear. Often, it features high wings and a single propeller at the front. Its sleek, boat-like underside is usually a different color from its painted body.

Special abilities

Seaplane has durable floats (pontoons) attached underneath its body that let it land smoothly on water surfaces like lakes or oceans.

Some Seaplanes have retractable wheels built into their floats that let them land on both land runways and water bodies.
