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