A watercraft capable of operating in hydrofoil mode or ground-effect mode
with self-righting retractable V-shaped foil, fiberoptic control systems,
and a plurality of aircraft style engines with variable pitch propellers
for speed and direction control. The V-shaped foil can be fully retracted
into the hull allowing operation in shallow water, and the ability to
execute a beach landing. Propeller pitch can be reversed allowing the
craft to backup. Each engine and propeller can be controlled individually
allowing rotating in-place for precise maneuvering control. The hull is a
flying wing, airfoil shape for efficient high-speed operation. Engine
nacelles are located on airfoil shaped struts, angled in a V-shape, for
self-righting effect at high speed. Fuel tanks are within the nacelles,
thus outside the main hull for safety.
