Seaworthiness characteristics are one of the key conditions for the success of the seaplane. So the improvement of these characteristics is an important task. It was suggested that the using of amortized floats could improve the seaworthiness characteristics of seaplane. For this purpose series of experiments were carried out and mathematical model was developed.
