• This proposed amphibious aircraft has an airframe that includes a submersible hull and thickwing, power plant, a device for fixation of flow shedding off trailing edge, gas-dynamic system for control of boundary layer and alighting gear.
• It is also provided with nozzles-elevons with yawing gas vane mounted inside them.
• Power plant includes lift-thrust engine with reactive thrust nozzles.
• Alighting gear includes wheel-ski landing gear of bicycle type.
• Mounted on submersible hull are center-wing section and engine.
• Mounted in tail section of wing are aero-gas vanes with slotted up section in front of engine nozzles.
• Landing gear is mounted under hull.
• Lock-catch for mooring rope is fitted on tail section of hull.

• EFFECT: reduced takeoff and landing runs.

This invention relates to aircraft engineering, particularly, to hydro-airfoil boats.

The proposed hydro-airfoil boat comprises airframe including submersible body, tapered thick wing, wheel-ski undercarriage, lift-sustainer jet engine, nozzles-elevons, boundary layer control gas-dynamic system, takeoff-landing device, hunting gas rudder,
wing center-section, flashing beacon lights, and tiedown rope lock.

• Airframe represents a wide-body low-wing plane.
• Airframe legs-pylons support catamaran ski-floats with wheels of main legs.
• Nose parking ski-step is arranged ahead of wheel while tail steering ski, a course stabiliser, is mounted behind the wheel.

EFFECT: better hydrodynamic navigability.
