Can a seaplane hull land on snow and take off from it?
I'm not talking about floats here -- I'm talking about an actual hull, like a seaplane has. Has anybody ever tried anything like this?
What are the issues and challenges here?
Shouldn't the broader surface of a hull work better for snow, while also being more streamlined and reducing the aerodynamic drag compared to floats?
