ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Disco Volante (ship)

Do you remember seeing those cool old movies where people would go on big adventures on big boats in the water? Well, a disco volante is like a really fancy boat, except it's meant to go on the water and in the air!

The "disco" part of the name comes from a type of dance party that was popular a long, long time ago. And "volante" means "flying" in Italian, which is another language people use to communicate.

The disco volante is a type of flying boat that was invented a long time ago by some really smart people. That means it can fly up in the sky like a plane but also float on the water like a boat. It has wings like an airplane, but also pontoons or floats to help it float on the water.

The disco volante is super cool because it's like having a floating airplane! It can travel really fast and really far, which makes it perfect for adventurous people who want to explore all sorts of new places. They use it to explore the world in ways no other flying vehicles can.

So, imagine a big boat with wings that can also fly in the sky. That's what a disco volante is!
