ABSTRACT:
An aerodynamically efficient fiberglass hull consisting of a pointed bow, a step amidships, and aft section coming to a point which will be attached to the hull of land aircraft and convert them to water operations. In addition, one wing float will be securely attached to the outboard section of each wing. The main and nose landing gear will be removed enabling the propellers to have adequate clearance from water. Landing gear removal procedures will not be used for amphibious aircraft.
