The Liberty Lifter X-Plane is aimed at creating a distant scranoplan-a dynamic air cushion vessel. The Flight Sciences team is working on aircraft more similar to traditional. The basis is a highly rolled wing and as much as 8 turbos. The developers note that their concept consists of an adaptive management system, which was created to perform operations on water and at low altitude. Protection from large waves is provided. It was introduced from the very beginning of work.
In turn, General Atomics has chosen a different way and work on a two -hull structure with a middle wing. 12 turbocharging engines are installed on the aircraft. They will be located behind the wing, not under it or in front. Both aircraft enclosures will be opened up to load and unload loads. Darpa notes that the first phase of the program will last 18 months. During this time, the teams must determine the design and capabilities of the aircraft to create a full -scale demonstrator.
