Landship

A landship is a large vehicle that travels on land, as opposed to on water, air, or in space. Because of their large size, their use on land is seen as impractical due to terrain obstacles, and soft ground that cannot support such large weight. Such problems are non-existent on water and in space. However, vehicles similar to the concept of landships have appeared in various forms in the real world, and more commonly in works of fiction.

Compare with trams and trains, which are large segmented land vehicles (or groups of vehicles) that use rail tracks, road trains, which are large land vehicles that use roadways, articulated buses (another road vehicle type), amphibious vehicles, which can drive on land and on water, and hovercrafts, which travel above the surface of both masses on an air cushion.
