The invention relates to an amphibious vehicle that includes: a hull (1) having a longitudinal axis; an aquatic propulsion means; a terrestrial propulsion means (5a, 5b) mounted on arms (4a, 4b) pivoting about an axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of said hull, and capable of assuming a stowed position when said vehicle moves over water using the aquatic propulsion means, and an extended position in which said vehicle can move on the ground using said terrestrial propulsion means. In the stowed position, the arms (4a, 4b) extend into cavities (3a, 3b) formed in the hull (1), and a portion of the arms (4a, 4b) defines a lid that at least partially closes the cavity (3a, 3b) in the longitudinal direction of the hull bottom (2).

L'invention concerne un véhicule amphibie comprenant :.cndot. une coque (1) possédant un axe longitudinal, .cndot. des moyens de propulsion aquatique, .cndot. des moyens de propulsion terrestre (5a, 5b) montés sur des bras (4a, 4b) pivotant autour d'un axe sensiblement parallèle à l'axe longitudinal de ladite coque, pouvant prendre une position repliée utilisée lorsque ledit véhicule se déplace sur l'eau grâce auxdits moyens de propulsion aquatique et une position déployée dans laquelle ledit véhicule peut se déplacer sur terre grâce auxdits moyens de propulsion terrestre. En position repliée, les bras (4a, 4b) s'engagent dans des cavités (3a, 3b) ménagées dans la coque (1) et une partie des bras (4a, 4b) forme un opercule qui ferme au moins partiellement la cavité (3a, 3b) dans le prolongement de la carène (2).
