Perdigão, R.A.P. (2024): Triadic Flight Technologies. DOI: 10.46337/240307

Summary

A novel triadic suite of flight technologies is introduced by developing, articulating and integrating ground-effect, free amphibious flight and orbital flight capabilities into a triadic system-of-systems able to seamlessly operate across all three mobility paradigms.

The triad is then implemented onto our new purpose-designed hydro-aerospace vehicle, propelled by latest-generation micro-reactors for industry-leading aerospace thrust, whilst providing long-range carbon-free flight mobility and autonomy.

The vehicle structure and materials are further optimized for a seamless switch between standard and stealth operations, while also providing structural robustness and functional flexibility to safely carry and deploy heavy and highly reactive payloads.

The robustness and versatility of the new vehicle is demonstrated across a suite of challenging oceanic and aerospace theaters of operation. Special emphasis is given to search and rescue missions, along with surveillance and security operations involving multidomain flight segments and highlighting seamless cross-domain transitions.
