A buoyancy system (10) for an aircraft (1), the buoyancy system (10) being provided with at least two floats (15), said buoyancy system (10) including a connection device (20) for each float (15), each connection device (20) attaching each float (15) to a structure (2') of an aircraft (1). Each connection device (20) includes at least one stretchable connection (25) and at least one non-stretch connection (30) that are fastened to the float (15) and that are suitable for being fastened to said structure (2'), each non-stretch connection (30) being folded while the float is against the fuselage (2) so as to enable it to be lengthened, each non-stretch connection (30) limiting the amplitude of the movement of the float (15) under the effect of buoyancy thrust, and each stretchable connection (25) exerting a return force (100) on the float (15).
