Sponsons are projections from the sides of a watercraft, for protection, stability, or the mounting of equipment such as armaments or lifeboats, etc. They extend a hull dimension at or below the waterline and serve to increase flotation or add lift when underway.
On many vessels, these projections from the main body of the vessel can be attached and removed quickly and fairly easily. On airplanes designed to take off or land in water, a sponson can help extend the hull higher in the water to aid in lift when the plane is taking off. This prevents the plane from sinking too deeply into the water, creating more drag.
