Many floatplanes, especially those since 1945, can have either conventional floats for operating just from water, or amphibious floats, which have retractable undercarriage built into them. Some experimental flying boats have used skis or hydrofoils to supplement their buoyancy when in motion, however they still rely on the buoyancy of a hull ...
