A method wherein a vehicle is capable of movement on or over land, and/or on, over, or under water. Various body, wing, tail, and/or outrigger shapes facilitate movement and develop lift. Buoyancy or semi-buoyancy is developed utilizing various chambers to contain controlled volumes of gaseous or liquid substances. Motion is augmented by propulsion or repulsion mechanisms, including pressurized liquid stream jet (PJET) propulsion. The vehicle is capable of modifying its shape and/or the curvature of various parts, such as wings, tails, and/or outriggers, by manipulating the internal skeleton, the internal compartments supporting the external surfaces, and/or the internal pressure of the shape. Control Agents with mechanized or manual support manage the vehicle's operations controlling various movement particular information, as well as baseline algorithms, such as wind speed, currents, and location.

1. A vehicle capable of controlled movement on and over land, and on, over, and under water, comprising;the vehicle; a rigid body connected to wings, tails, and outriggers; a means of creating vehicular buoyancy by a use of interconnected internal compartments; a means of regulating a buoyant state
1. A vehicle capable of controlled movement on and over land, and on, over, and under water, comprising;the vehicle; a rigid body connected to wings, tails, and outriggers; a means of creating vehicular buoyancy by a use of interconnected internal compartments; a means of regulating a buoyant state in said vehicle by a movement of gaseous or liquid matter between said interconnected internal compartments; wherein said interconnected internal compartments incorporate entry and exit regulating mechanisms. 2. A vehicle capable of controlled movement on and over land, and on, over, and under water comprising, as defined in claim 1, said wings of said vehicle further comprised of:internal skeletal structures that assist in maintaining and changing the curvature of said wings; wherein said internal skeletal structures of said wing sections may be manipulated by a control agent to change the positioning of said internal skeletal structures, resulting in the ability of said vehicle to modify its aspect and attitude for the purposes of modifying lift and momentum; wherein the curving and flexing of said wings may be controlled to effect a continuous repeating motion. 3. A vehicle capable of controlled movement on and over land, and on, over, and under water comprising, as defined in claim 1, said tails, and outriggers of said vehicle further comprised:wherein said tails and outriggers may be manipulated by a control agent to change their positioning relative to said body of said vehicle, resulting in said ability of said vehicle to modify its aspect and attitude for the purposes of modifying lift and momentum. 4. A vehicle capable of controlled movement on and over land, and on, over, and under water comprising, as defined in claim 1, said wings and tails further comprised of;a means of providing for different wing and tail lengths to perform a desired function, whether in air or water; wherein each wing or tail consists of one or more fixed sections physically and mechanically linked together; wherein each fixed wing or tail section fits into the next, with the main section closest to said body and serving as the anchoring component; wherein a means to slide one or more wing or tail sections from said anchoring component base position, horizontally and parallel to the furthermost edge of the next section and fix said section to form a semi-rigid wing or tail structure; wherein said internal skeletal structures of said wing sections slide out as part of each said wing section while maintaining a fixed and connected position in relationship to the total wing structure. 5. A vehicle capable of controlled movement on and over land, and on, over, and under water comprising, as defined in claim 1, said outriggers further comprised of;a means of providing for different outrigger lengths to perform a desired function, whether in air or water; wherein each outrigger may consist of one or many fixed sections mechanically linked together; wherein each fixed outrigger section may consist of one or many fixed compartments; wherein each outrigger section fits into the next, with the section closest to said body serving as an outrigger anchoring component; wherein a means to slide various outrigger sections from said outrigger anchoring component, horizontally and parallel to the furthermost edge of the next section and fix said section to form a rigid outrigger structure. 6. A vehicle capable of controlled movement on and over land, and on, over, and under water comprising, as defined in claim 1, said vehicle further comprised of:operating functions managed by control agents; wherein said operating functions comprise: identifying the starting and ending point of any movement of said vehicle; the path said vehicle will take from the starting to the ending point; external conditions of air, land, and water along the path; the time desired for said vehicle to move from said starting to ending point; regulating said buoyancy of said vehicle, managing the loaded weight of said vehicle; managing fuel levels, gaseous levels and compression; managing the direction, speed, and path of said vehicle; wherein said control agents consist partly of computer programs and partly of electrical and mechanical components; wherein said control agents conduct continuous diagnostics and report status; wherein said control agents operate in a mirroring mode, with the ability to utilize multiple control agents simultaneously, or switch from one to another, should any malfunctions limit the ability of one or more of said control agents; wherein said controls agents communicate with an operator onboard or at a remote location; wherein said control agents manipulate the movement of gaseous or liquid matter to and from compartments in said body, wings, and outriggers; wherein said control agents manage the functions of said internal skeletal structures; wherein said vehicle contains manual controls that an operator may utilize to control said vehicle; said manual controls may operate alone or in concert with said control agents. 7. A vehicle capable of controlled movement on and over land, and on, over, and under water comprising, as defined in claim 1, said vehicle further comprised of:a means of motive forces; wherein said motive forces raise and lower said vehicle from one elevation to another; wherein said motive forces propel said vehicle in combination with said wings, tails, and outriggers, producing thrust, lift, descent, yaw, and pitch; wherein said motive forces may be moved, raised, lowered, and rotated relative to their positioning and attachment to said body, wings, tails, or outriggers of said vehicle, enabling said motive forces to develop desired directional movement. 8. A vehicle capable of controlled movement on and over land, and on, over, and under water comprising, as defined in claim 7, said vehicle further comprising:a means of propulsion utilitizing one or more natural fluid streams; wherein a shaped device pressurizes said natural fluid streams, said device hereinafter called a PJET, is attached to said body and aids and assists in developing thrust; wherein a natural fluid stream is directed into and is pressurized by said PJET, and the now higher pressured fluid stream is expelled from an aft aperture of said PJET. 9. A vehicle capable of controlled movement on and over land, and on, over, and under water comprising, as defined in claim 7 said vehicle further comprising:a means of propulsion utilitizing one or more natural fluid streams; wherein a PJET, is attached to said wings and aids and assists in developing thrust; wherein a natural fluid stream is directed into and is pressurized by said PJET, and the now higher pressured fluid stream is expelled from an aft aperture of said PJET. 10.
