Floatplanes are built to take off and land on water, but when no water runway is available, pilots use creative solutions like this trailer-assisted launch. The truck accelerates, giving the floatplane enough speed to generate lift. Most light floatplanes, like the one in this video, rotate around 45–55 knots depending on weight and conditions. Once the floats leave the trailer, the pilot carefully adjusts pitch and power to maintain smooth lift-off without touching back down a precise maneuver
