PITCH ANGLE VARIATION SUPPRESSING DEVICE OF SEAPLANE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device which suppresses the variation of a pitch angle which generates in a seaplane body, enabling the operation in the condition of larger waves.SOLUTION: A float 3 is divided in its lengthwise direction, and a central part of the float 3 is served as a base member 3a connected to a seaplane body 2. In an end of the base member in the lengthwise direction, a movable member 3b is provided which can be swung between a normal position in which the movable member 3b is positioned along the lengthwise direction of the base member, and a working position in which the movable member 3b is positioned above the lengthwise direction of the base member. Between the base member and the movable member, connection means K is provided which connects the base member and the movable member with their relative swing allowed and biases the movable member to the normal position. 【課題】水上飛行機本体に生じるピッチ角の変動を抑制し、より高い波の状態での運用を可能とする装置を提供する。【解決手段】フロート３をその長さ方向に分割して、中央部を水上飛行機本体２に連結される基部材３ａとし、この基部材の長さ方向の端部に、この基部材の長さ方向に沿って位置させられる通常位置と、前記基部材の長さ方向よりも上方に位置させられる作動位置との間で回動可能となされた可動部材３ｂを連設し、前記基部材と前記可動部材との間に、これらを相対回動可能に連結し、かつ、前記可動部材を通常位置へ向けて付勢する連結手段Ｋを設ける。【選択図】図１
