A multi-mode vehicle is disclosed that can be used in two or more of land, water and ground effect flight. The vehicle includes a first engine driving the vehicle's wheels and a second engine driving a fan. The vehicle includes removable wings, a removable horizontal stabilizer and a rudder. The second engine and fan, operating alone, provide insufficient thrust for the wings to lift the vehicle off the ground. The first and second engines, operating together, provide sufficient thrust for the wings to lift the vehicle into ground effect flight. The second engine and fan provide sufficient thrust for the vehicle to maintain ground effect flight. |
