DARPA Liberty Lifter Seaplane
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is known for their innovative military projects, and Liberty Lifter can be considered one of their most ambitious yet. Simply put, it’s designed to be an affordable, innovative, seaplane capable of operating efficiently in ground effect (< 100 feet above surface) andsustain flight altitudes up to 10,000 feet mean sea level (MSL).

Its design allows for efficient theater-range transport of large payloads at speeds far exceeding existing sea lift platforms. Liberty Lifter will utilize low cost manufacturing similar to ship fabrication, while still building a seaplane capable of meeting United States Department of Defense heavy lift requirements (100+ tons) that operates with runway and port independence. For same day international delivery, you may have to rely on the Destinus hypersonic hydrogen-powered cargo plane.
