CMESS-AVP Compact Modular Energy Storage System for Rapid Vertical Lift and Modular Propulsion

CMESS-AVP is a design for a vehicle that drives on the road like a small sports car and can also lift straight up, hover in place, and fly forward. At the heart of the design is a new kind of hydrogen tank called the Super Tank. It is a ball made of ten shells, one inside the other, with springs between them. When the gas inside pushes outward, the inner shells move and the springs squeeze. A second, simpler tank keeps a steady supply of hydrogen ready for the engine. An artificial intelligence (AI) control system watches the pressure, the gas flow, and the movement of the springs, and it opens and closes the valves that send hydrogen and oxygen to the engine. Two wings stay folded inside long boxes along the lower sides of the car while it drives. Once the car is in the air, the wings unfold, much like the roof of a convertible folds open, to help hold the car up as it flies forward. The planned flight begins with a straight-up lift. At a height of about three meters, the control system moves into the next stage of flight, which can be hovering or flying forward. The long-term goal is to stay in the air for thirty minutes or more. Whether that goal can be reached depends on how heavy the vehicle is, how much push the engine makes, how fast it burns fuel, how much fuel the tanks really hold, how well heat is handled, how well the wings work, and how reliable the controls are. This paper explains the design and how its parts are meant to work together, and it lists the math, material tests, strength checks, and experiments still needed. It also gives a first rough fuel estimate (Section 9), which shows that the choice of engine will decide whether thirty minutes is within reach. CMESS-AVP is an engineering idea in development, not a vehicle that has already flown.
