3. A vehicle as defined in claim 2 , wherein the nose wheel is operatively coupled to a power assembly, and the left wheel and the right wheel are mounted for free wheel rotation.

4. A vehicle as defined in claim 1 , wherein the pair of wings include adjustable control surfaces.

5. A vehicle as defined in claim 4 , wherein the control surfaces are elevons positioned aft of a center of gravity of the vehicle.

6. A vehicle as defined in claim 1 , wherein the water propulsion system includes a jet pump or propeller.

7. A vehicle as defined in claim 1 , further comprising electrical motors disposed in a first compartment of the body and batteries disposed in one or more compartments of the body separate from the first compartment.

8. An amphibious submersible vehicle, comprising:

a body having a central hull and a pair of wings, the central hull having a designed waterline and a watertight cabin, the pair of wings disposed on opposing sides of the central hull below the designed waterline and having an inverted wing profile that generates a downward dive force sufficient to overcome buoyancy forces of the vehicle once sufficient speed is achieved, each of the wings terminating in an upwardly oriented winglet;

a plurality of wheels coupled to a lower portion of the body positioned to contact the ground;

a water propulsion system coupled to the body to propel the body in a forward direction; and

a power assembly that applies a motive force to one or more of the plurality of wheels for land operations and that applies motive force to the water propulsion system for water operations.

9. A vehicle as defined in claim 8 , further comprising a detachable trailer that houses a fuel tank, a power generator coupled to the fuel tank and detachably and operatively coupled to a battery assembly disposed in the body, and an air compressor detachably and operatively coupled to air tanks disposed in the body.

10. A vehicle as defined in claim 8 , wherein the pair of wings include adjustable control surfaces.

11. A vehicle as defined in claim 10 , wherein the control surfaces are elevons positioned aft of the center of gravity of the vehicle and rudders positioned on the winglets.

12. A vehicle as defined in claim 8 , wherein the central hull includes a flood chamber.

13. A vehicle as defined in claim 8 , further comprising an air-supply system that manages air pressure and oxygen levels within the cabin.

14. A vehicle as defined in claim 13 , wherein the air-supply system includes an air tank assembly disposed in the body and a compressor assembly coupled to the air tank assembly for providing air to the air tank assembly.

15. A vehicle as defined in claim 8 , the power assembly further comprising a battery assembly disposed in the central hull and operably coupled to the an electric motor assembly for powering the water propulsion system.

16. An amphibious submersible vehicle, comprising:

a body having a central hull and a pair of wings, the central hull having a designed waterline and a watertight cabin, the pair of wings disposed on opposing sides of the central hull below the designed waterline and having an inverted wing profile that generates a downward dive force sufficient to overcome buoyancy forces of the vehicle once sufficient speed is achieved, each of the wings terminating in an upwardly oriented winglet, the pair of wings include elevons positioned aft of a center of gravity of the vehicle;

a plurality of wheels coupled to a lower portion of the body positioned to contact the ground, including a nose wheel coupled to a nose section of the central hull, a left wheel coupled to a left winglet of the pair of wings, and a right wheel coupled to a right winglet of the pair of wings;

an air-supply system that manages air pressure and oxygen levels within the cabin;
