Triphibious Ground Effect Submarine Vehicle - Concept
The outer motors are housed inside what can be used as ballast tank, or thrust chambers, use hydrophobic materials on the rotors, seal the engines etc. the front two chamber can be lowered a little to create a hydrofoil ground effect, lifting the nose of the craft a little, for creating a better angle for the ground effect of a plane like vehicle. if we fill the chambers with water, they can serve as a ballast tank, that we can clear out again by pumping the water out, and or adding a pressurized gas inside it to force the water out. the craft can float, and also move forward as a regular speedboat. the faster we move, the more lift we generate, until the ground effect is reached, using a perfect 360 degree aerodynamic hull shape.
added two back jets for forward motion, inside are two counter spinning rotors, they can either move water or air to the back of the vehicle, explosive and quick. if the ballast tanks are filled with water, the craft becomes a super fast submarine vehicle, for underwater exploration.
there is plenty of room to make it fully electric, but we can also add normal fuel tanks into the design quite easily. same goes for battery compartments, they can be fit into the design inside the craft perfectly. in the front there could be a cabin for a pilot and crew, or RC equipment, and cameras it all depends on scale and taste for style.
