It uses this concept

#

It has deployable air cushion like a hovercraft

#

dusty birch Dec 17, 2023, 8:28 PM

#

It can also deflate it into itself and land like a normal flying boat too

hearty ermine well considered flat in some ways

One is usually super hilly and gets all up in your machine parts

#

Snow doesnt even hold up and just collapses

#

Marsh is just overly wet dirt

It uses the cushion to go on land

#

While it can also land as a normal flying boat in water with the cushion deflated
