An amphibian (1) for use on land and water, comprising: a hull having a planing surface (2), and at least one retractable suspension apparatus (4) movable from a vehicle supporting position to a retracted position, comprising for each wheel (5), upper and lower suspension arms (8, 9) that are pivotably connected at inboard ends to a support structure within the hull; and are pivotably connected at outboard ends to a suspension upright (7). Upright (7) extends from a first, upper connection past a second, lower connection to a location (10) for a wheel hub mounting. The suspension upright when deployed in land use extends externally of the hull across a side face (2A) of the planing surface; while lower suspension arm (9) remains above the top of planing surface (2) throughout use of the amphibian on land. This suspension arrangement allows the hull to have no cutouts in its planing surface.

L'invention concerne un amphibie (1) destiné à fonctionner au sol ou dans l'eau, comprenant : une coque pourvue d'une surface d'hydroplanage (2) ; et au moins un appareil de suspension rétractable (4) pouvant se déplacer entre une position de support de véhicule et une position rétractée et comprenant pour chaque roue (5) des bras de suspension supérieur et inférieur (8, 9) reliés pivotants au niveau des extrémités en-bord à une structure de support contenue dans la coque et reliés pivotants au niveau des extrémités hors-bord à un montant de suspension (7). Ce montant (7) s'étend à partir d'un premier raccord supérieur, par un deuxième raccord inférieur, jusqu'à un emplacement (10) de montage de moyeu de roue. Le montant de suspension, lorsqu'il est déployé pour une utilisation au sol, s'étend externe à la coque sur une face latérale (2A) de la surface d'hydroplanage, alors que le bras de suspension inférieur (9) reste au-dessus de la surface d'hydroplanage (2) lors d'une utilisation au sol de l'amphibie. Cet agencement de suspension permet à la coque d'être exempte d'entailles sur sa surface d'hydroplanage.
