Liberty Lifter Wing-in-Ground effect Seaplane

Aurora Flight Sciences’ Liberty Lifter wing-in-ground effect seaplane concept, offers a ship’s cargo capacity with the speed of an airplane.

The video shows a design that improves efficiency by flying close to the water and delivering rapid, heavy-lift transport without needing runways or ports.

The Liberty Lifter program, backed by DARPA, seeks to create an affordable X-plane that can be built, launched from water, and flown—demonstrating groundbreaking sea-based heavy-lift capabilities.
