DARPA Liberty Lifter – Warbird Wednesday Episode #205

Welcome to another episode of Warbird Wednesday! Today, we’re discussing the DARPA project “Liberty Lifter,” focusing on its groundbreaking aspects. The DARPA Liberty Lifter surprisingly aims to fly 100 ft off the ground, carry 90 tons of cargo, and travel 6500 nautical miles. The design of the Liberty Lifter bears resemblance to that of an earlier aircraft featured on Warbird Wednesday, such as the H4. DARPA plans to move to phase two of the project by mid-2024 to develop a demonstrator aircraft, potentially revolutionizing amphibious military aircraft technology.
