 the following is a list of seaplanes and amphibious aircraft, which includes floatplanes and flying boats. this list does not include ekranoplans, 'wing-in-ground-effect' (wig), water-skimmers, wingships or similar vehicles reliant on ground effect. seaplanes are any aircraft that has the capability of landing on water while amphibians are equipped with wheels to alight on land, as well as being able to land on the water. flying boats rely on the fuselage or hull for buoyancy, while floatplanes rely on external pontoons or floats. some experimental aircraft used specially designed skiis to skim across the water but did not always have a corresponding ability to float. ==australia== * gaf nomad â twin-engine turboprop, high-wing, stol utility transport floatplane variant (1971) * raaf experimental station widgeon â biplane amphibian (1925) ==austria== thumb|right|austro-hungarian lohner l.1 patrol flying boat from world war 1 * hopfner ha-11/33 â twin-engined monoplane amphibious flying boat (1933) ==austria-hungary== * lohner e - biplane flying boat (1914) * lohner l & s â biplane flying boat (1915) * lohner r â reconnaissance biplane flying boat (1910s) ==brazil== * airmax seamax â two-seat flying boat (2001) * edra aeronautica super pÃ©trel- two-seat amphibian (2002) * microleve corsario - amphibious ultralight flying boat (1988) ==canada== thumb|canadian-vickers vedette forestry patrol flying boat thumb|right|noorduyn norseman bushplane * aac seastar â 2-seat amphibious flying boat kitplane (1998) * aac seastar sealoon - amphibious flying boat kitplane * boeing-canada 213 totem â four-passenger monoplane flying boat (1930) * bombardier cl-415 â amphibious multi-purpose waterbomber flying boat (1993) * canadair cl-215 â amphibious multi-purpose waterbomber flying boat (1967) * canadian vickers vancouver â twin-engine firefighting transport/patrol flying boat (1929) * canadian vickers varuna â twin-engine fire fighting transport flying boat (1927) * canadian vickers vedette â three-seat single-engine biplane flying boat (1924) * canadian vickers vista â single-engine single-seat monoplane flying boat (1927) * canadian vickers vanessa â four-passenger cabin floatplane (1927) * canadian vickers velos â twin-engine survey floatplane (1927) * de havilland canada dhc-2 beaver â single-engine bushplane (1947) * de havilland canada dhc-3 otter â single-engine bushplane (1951) * de havilland canada dhc-6 twin otter â twin turboprop bushplane (1965) * fairchild 82 â single-engine high-wing monoplane bushplane (1935) * fairchild f-11 husky â s
