Amphibious Vehicles

Category: File - :LARC V vehicle.JPEG|thumb|300px|A LARC-V 5-ton U.S. amphibious cargo vehicleAn amphibious vehicle (or simply amphibian), is a vehicle or craft, that is a means of transport, viable on land as well as on water ? just like an amphibian.

This definition applies equally to any land and water transport, small or large, powered or unpowered, ranging from amphibious bicycles, ATVs, cars, buses, trucks, RVs, and military vehicles, all the way to the very largest hovercraft. Classic landing craft are generally not considered amphibious vehicles, although they are part of amphibious assault. Nor are Ground effect vehicles, such as Ekranoplans. The former don't offer any real land transportation at all ? the latter (aside from completely disconnecting from the surface, like an fixed-wing aircraft) will probably crash on all but the flattest of landmasses.
