Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to amphibious and "ground affect" vehicles. The invention incorporates a special wheel consisting of a box portion affixed to a disc or wheel portion. A vehicle with such wheels can roll on most surfaces with easy transition from one medium to another. For example, it can roll from the terrain, onto the water and then back to the land. Such wheels enable vehicles to roll on top of the snow and other surfaces where conventional wheels cannot.
