Abstract
A maritime drone able to operate in displacement and planing modes on water, or as a sled upon surfaces like snow, ice or sandbanks. An ancillary feature of the craft is that as few as four motors allow it to be launched from land to water in the absence of any facilities, and afterward fly within 'surface-effect' should conditions permit.
