Abstract:
A rear flap shape for an amphibious vehicle comprises: a vehicle body; a pair of track belts arranged on both the left and right sides of the vehicle body with respect to the movement direction of the vehicle body; and a rear flap connected to the rear part of the vehicle body. The rear flap shape for an amphibious vehicle is configured such that: the rear surface of the vehicle body includes a departure angle surface which extends obliquely upward from the lower edge of the rear surface as the departure angle surface extends toward the rear of the vehicle body; the pair of track belts is configured such that the upper surfaces of the track belts are located at higher positions than the lower edge and the lower surfaces of the track belts are located at lower positions than the lower edge; the rear edges of the pair of track belts protrude further rearward than the lower edge; the rear flap includes a flap body having a facing edge which, between the pair of track belts, faces the lower edge; and the rear flap is connected to the vehicle body so as to be capable of pivoting vertically so that the facing edge can come in contact with or come close to the lower edge.
