ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Seadrome

Imagine you really love swimming and jumping into the water. Now, imagine your home is right in the middle of the ocean, where there is a lot of water around you. You really wish you could have your own little swimming pool at home, but that is not possible because you are surrounded by water.

Similarly, people love flying airplanes but there are few landing spots in the middle of the water. This is where a seadrome comes in. A seadrome is like a big swimming pool for airplanes, which means it is a structure built on water that an airplane can land on, just like how you can swim and jump in a pool.

A seadrome usually has a long runway or a flat space on the water where an airplane can land safely. It can also have facilities nearby for passengers and crew, just like an airport. Seadromes can be helpful in many ways, especially for emergency landings when an airplane needs to land quickly but there is no land nearby.

In summary, a seadrome is like a swimming pool for airplanes that helps them land safely on the water.
