FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aircraft engineering, particularly to naval aviation. Amphibious aircraft contains high-lift wing, tail fin, power plant, landing gear, water rudder. Amphibious aircraft is executed as "flying wing" provided on its lower surface with built-in two-stepped keel projecting bottoms of boats. Wing lower surface creates positive angle relative to water surface and is installed with gap from it. The boats together with wing lower surface form wedgewise hollows tapering to the rear part of wing. On the lower surface of wing rear part there are flaps deflecting downwards. In the hollows, additional buoyancy is created when aircraft moves over water.
