ABSTRACT:
An amphibious vehicle is provided with pivoted plates on either side for ement between an extended position approximately horizontal and a "folded" position approximately vertical with respect to the normal position of the vehicle. A third plate may also be attached beneath and parallel to the bottom of the vehicle. These plates are so shaped that in the extended position they serve as planing skis and are fabricated from a material which will afford armor protection to the vehicle when the plates are in the folded or retracted position.
