An airboat is a flat-bottomed boat powered by an aircraft or automotive engine and propelled by an aircraft-type propeller. Designed for operation in shallow waters, marshes, and swamps, airboats feature a flat hull that enables them to navigate through very shallow environments without getting stuck. The propulsion system includes a large aircraft-type propeller mounted at the rear, allowing efficient movement over water and marshy areas. Operators often have an elevated platform for better visibility over tall grass, vegetation, and water obstacles. Some airboats incorporate a cage or guard around the propeller for safety, preventing debris from entering. Known for their versatility, airboats are used for various purposes, including transportation, wildlife observation, and recreational activities.
