floatation

Not sinking ability

Floatation is an alternate spelling of flotation—the act or state of floating, or the process of launching a business venture by issuing shares.

The spelling with -oa- reflects the word float more transparently, though flotation remains more common in formal and technical contexts: floatation devices, floatation therapy.
