A Foundation We Can Build Upon

New Ground-Effect Flight Transit (GEFT) is a major and world-changing system which stands out against all other concepts and existing transit in the following aspects:

• No new infrastructure (only vehicles) is needed to reduce total transit times by more than half,
• Incredible access to facilities uses existing railway and subway stations as well as very simple bus stops,
• Major advances in efficiency enable electric trucks including full direct solar, 
• GEFT is inherently multimodal allowing vehicles to seamlessly travel from railway to highway to waterway corridors, and
• The system is an open-ended technology which means greater and greater applications will evolve and manifest.

This is possible both to breakthrough science and the innovation enabled by that breakthrough science.

HS-Drone LLC is about locating and expanding a foundation in technology that can Make America Great Again.  We  found that foundation.

That foundation is America's rail and highway infrastructure.  The technology will better utilizes that infrastructure and provide an incredible path forward!

MAGA is the goal, and HS-Drone is defining the technology to Make America Great Again!  The technology is a transit technology that will cut transit times and costs by 50% to 80%.  It will provide a fast track to a zero-carbon-footprint society.

A new ground effect flight transit ("GEFT") simultaneously increases energy efficiency and higher-speed capabilities of trucks, buses, vans, railcars, and most transit.  Many approaches are able to reduce aerodynamic drag, GEFT technology reduces drag even more AND can eliminate rolling losses.  This translates to less than about half the energy of the best alternatives. 

With these extremely efficient vehicles, a new approach to railway scheduling (metro and inter-city) is poised to cut transit times and costs in half.  This impacts people worldwide, not just those who will be able to afford air taxis.  For the vast majority of routing, total transit times will be less than possible with vertiports and air taxis.

What were considered unattainable in 2023, now have paths of short timelines to realize, including:   solar-powered trucks, solar-powered passenger aircraft, and trans-modal ground-effect vehicles cutting time and costs by 50% to  80%.

The underlying problems of past explanations of aerodynamic lift are well known,  No One Can Explain Why Planes Stay in the Air.  The accurate science is now known, An Airfoil Science Including Causality.

PCT Application filed on 25-JUN-2024 provides a patent-pending status with additional details in       --     BENCHMARKS    --    and SUPPLEMENTS .  

BOOK - The energy costs and time for a trip from downtown Washington D.C. to New York City can go from $13 and 3.5 hours to $2 and 1 hour, but these are only the beginning of the benefits.  Three books are now available in this series:

• Fixing Airplane Science - If we would have only known  LINK, see Chapters 1 & 2 (below).
• Fixing Airplane Science - Ground effect flight and The Flying Railcar  LINK
• Fixing Airplane Science - Replacing erroneous analogies with science LINK

1. Drones are reshaping military strategies on a weekly basis in the Ukraine war.
2. NASA, The U.S. Air Force, Boeing, Northrup, and others have identified approaches to increase aircraft efficiency by more than 40%. 
3. Several of the PRIMES are testing prototypes for 24/7 solar aircraft referred to as HAPS.
4. As solar modules' costs approach 1 ¢/kWh, costs above the clouds approach 0.5 ¢/kWh.   
5. Air transit is already the least-expensive for distant travel; it is improving toward lowest cost, fastest, and lowest carbon-footprint for most travel (see chart, lower left).
