Abstract
A small wing, located on the inside face of each float of a float airplane that causes the plane to go on step in ⅓ the space normally required. The wings are fixed in place on the floats. The wings enable a plane to take off on much smaller bodies of water. Conversely, the shorter step distance allows a plane to carry more weight than was possible before.
