Abstract: An example blown-wing craft includes at least one rudder, a first wing, a second wing, at least one first control surface, at least one second control surface, at least two first propeller assemblies, at least two second propeller assemblies, a plurality of sensors, and a control system. The control system is configured to (i) operate the blown-wing craft in a given mode; (ii) while operating the blown-wing craft, receive, via the plurality of sensors, a plurality of sensor inputs; and (iii) control an attitude of the blown-wing craft by selectively operating (a) the at least two first propeller assemblies, (b) the at least two second propeller assemblies, (c) the at least one rudder, (d) the at least one first control surface, and (e) the at least one second control surface based at least in part on the received plurality of sensor inputs and the given mode.

Abstract: A craft comprises at least one hull, a main wing coupled to the hull and configured to facilitate airborne operations of the craft, a plurality of propellers that include one or more electric motor propellers and one or more combustion motor propellers arranged along each of a port side and a starboard side of the main wing and configured to generate lift on the craft by blowing air over the main wing, and a control system. The control system comprises data storage having instruction code stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors of the control system, causes the control system to: after receiving a takeoff indication, increase thrust generated by the electric motor propellers to cause the craft to transition from a hull-borne mode of operation to an airborne mode of operation, and after a thrust adjustment condition occurs, increase thrust generated by the combustion motor propellers.

Abstract: An example wing-in-ground effect vehicle includes (i) a main wing having main wing control surfaces; (ii) a tail having tail control surfaces; (iii) a blown-wing propulsion system arranged along the main wing or the tail; (iv) a retractable hydrofoil configured to operate in: (a) an extended configuration in which the retractable hydrofoil extends below a hull of the vehicle for submersion below a water surface and (b) a retracted configuration in which the retractable hydrofoil is retracted at least partially into the hull of the vehicle; and (v) a control system configured to maneuver the vehicle by (i) causing a change in orientation of the retractable hydrofoil when the retractable hydrofoil is operating in the extended configuration, and (ii) causing a change in orientation of the main wing control surfaces and tail control surfaces when the retractable hydrofoil is operating in the retracted configuration.
