Les progrès considérables apportés depuis 1946 aux trains d'atterrissage enlèvent désormais tout intérêt à l'hydravion qui exige pour l'envol et l'atterrissage des plans d'eau qu'on trouve rarement à proximité des grandes villes. 4, record 1, French, - plan%20d%27eau

L'hydravion est un aéronef plus lourd que l'air, volant comme un avion, mais effectuant ses manœuvres de décollage et d'«atterrissage» sur un plan d'eau au lieu d'un sol ferme. [...] On a alors vu apparaître des avions aux performances sans cesse évoluées et, dans ces conditions, l'hydravion, appareil lent et surtout incapable de reposer ailleurs que sur un plan d'eau, a été quelque peu délaissé; actuellement, tous ceux qui viennent d'être cités n'ont plus qu'un intérêt historique. 5, record 1, French, - plan%20d%27eau
