Amphibian a combat or transport motor vehicle that can move on land and on water (tank, carrier, automobile, airplane). (1) The amphibious tank and carrier can float because the hermetically sealed body displaces the necessary amount of water. It has a propeller engine, standard caterpillar treads (if it is a caterpillar vehicle), and water jets. The first amphibious tanks were designed during World War I. In 1921—22 amphibious tanks were produced in France and in America. In 1932 the Red Army was supplied with its first amphibious tank, the T-37, which was later replaced by the T-38 and T-40 (1940). The T-40 tank weighs 5.5 tons and has a two-man crew, two machine guns, bulletproof armored plate, and a maximum speed of 44 km an hour on land and 5 km an hour in water. During World War II, in 1943–45, the US Army used amphibious tanks in several landing operations in the Pacific Ocean and in Europe. But they were of little use for combat actions of ground troops and were used chiefly to provide fire support for landings. In the postwar period many armies began using amphibious tanks, armored carriers, and armored cars on a large scale. At present the term amphibians is rarely applied to these vehicles. L. G. BARKHUDAROV (2) The amphibious automobile is used to transport people or freight and to ferry them across rivers, lakes, and other water barriers. It is manufactured on the basis of a crosscountry automobile with all-axle drive. It may have two, three, or four chassis axles. The amphibious automobile has all the units of an ordinary automobile, plus a hermetically sealed body in the shape of a boat or a pontoon for moving on water, a water engine (usually a propeller), a water steering wheel, splash panel, and water pump. The speed of the amphibious automobile on water is 15–20 km an hour. |
