Title: AMPHIBIOUS AIRCRAFT
Abstract: A tri-hulled amphibious aircraft includes a center hull located between a starboard outer hull and a port outer hull. The center hull supports a fuselage. The wings can be mounted mid-height to the fuselage and the outer hulls are mounted to the respective wings. The tri-hull configuration makes the aircraft more stable during both take offs from the water and landings on the water. In addition, the outer hulls may support at least some of the weight of the aircraft by displacing water both when the aircraft is stationary and when it is in motion. In one embodiment, the aircraft includes a folding wing to enable the aircraft to dock at docking areas that have limited space.
