An amphibian delta wing jet aircraft, which has a plurality of triangular folding wing panels, two of which are hingedly attached to a lifting shape body, which incorporates a W-shaped hull in it's cross section of a fuselage so that the craft operates efficiently as an aircraft when flying through the air with the wings in a fully unfolded extended position. The craft also performs well as a watercraft capable of relatively high speeds on the water surface when the wing are folded-up in a non extended position. The W-shape hull transverse cross section also provides excellent characteristics so that the craft can hydroplane over marshlands or waterlogged soil which may be covered with emersed rushes, or snow, cattails and other tall grasses. The craft is also provided with four retractably mounted mechanically extendable wheels, to be utilized when configured as a land vehicle.

An amphibian delta wing jet aircraft, which has a fuselage that can be configured as an airplane form, a water craft form, a snow craft form and a land vehicle form comprising: a) a body which tapers along a longitudinal axis and houses at least one jet engine and at least an aft cockpit; b) a hull which abuts said body and tapers along a longitudinal axis and has the characteristic of a lifting body; c) a plurality of triangular folding wing panels two of which are hingedly attached to said body, wherein said body has a transverse cross section that is a rectangle, wherein said hull has a transverse cross section that is two isosceles triangles oriented with their apexes touching and each isosceles triangle having a long side in common with a half of a side of said rectangle. 3. The amphibian delta wing jet aircraft as defined in claim 2, wherein four of said sides of said isosceles triangles form a W-shape. 4. An amphibian delta wing jet aircraft, which has a fuselage that can be configured as an airplane form, a water craft form, a snow craft form and a land vehicle form comprising: a) a body which tapers along a longitudinal axis and houses at least one jet engine and at least an aft cockpit; a hull which abuts said body and tapers along a longitudinal axis and has the characteristic of a lifting body; b) a plurality of triangular folding wing panels two of which are hingedly attached to said body, wherein said plurality of triangular folding wing panels, form a triangular outboard section, and a triangular inboard section which are almost congruent. 5. The amphibian delta wing jet aircraft as defined in claim 4, wherein said triangular inboard section is hingedly attached to an upper edge of said body of said fuselage and folds along a first axial line which substantially coincides with an upper edge of said body of said fuselage. 6. The amphibian delta wing jet aircraft as defined in claim 5, wherein said triangular outboard section has an inner edge hingedly attached to an outer edge of said triangular inboard section and folds along a second axial line which separates said triangular outboard section from said triangular inboard section. 7. An amphibian delta wing jet aircraft, which has a fuselage that can be configured as an airplane form, a water craft form, a snow craft form and a land vehicle form comprising: a) a body which tapers along a longitudinal axis and houses at least one jet engine and at least an aft cockpit; b) a hull which abuts said body and tapers along a longitudinal axis and has the characteristic of a lifting body; c) a plurality of triangular folding wing panels two of which are hingedly attached to said body, wherein located at the extreme aft end of said body of said craft, there are fixedly attached two aft pods each of which house a retractably mounted telescopic mechanism for extending a wheel, which is steerable. 8. The amphibian delta wing jet aircraft as defined in claim 7, wherein said wheel is motorized, so as to propel the craft on land or other hard surfaces. 9. The amphibian delta wing jet aircraft as defined in claim 8, wherein said aft pods each have at least one sloped face angled so as to facilitate the glancing off a pier while docking the craft when configured as a water craft. 10. An amphibian delta wing jet aircraft, which has a fuselage that can be configured as an airplane form, a water craft form, a snow craft form and a land vehicle form comprising: a) a body which tapers along a longitudinal axis and houses at least one jet engine and at least an aft cockpit; b) a hull which abuts said body and tapers along a longitudinal axis and has the characteristic of a lifting body; c) a plurality of triangular folding wing panels two of which are hingedly attached to said body, wherein located at a midship location, there are fixedly attached two forward pods each of which house a retractably mounted telescopic mechanism for extending a wheel which is steerable and utilized to drive and steer the craft on land or other hard surfaces when configured as a land vehicle. 11. The amphibian delta wing jet aircraft as defined in claim 10, wherein said forward pods each have at least one sloped face angled, so as to facilitate the glancing off a pier while docking the craft when configured as a water craft. 12. The amphibian delta wing jet aircraft as defined in claim 1, wherein between said bow cockpit and said aft cockpit is located dual air intake openings for supplying fresh air for each of two jet engines housed within said body of said fuselage. 13. The amphibian delta wing jet aircraft as defined in claim 12, wherein said two jet engines fluidly communicate with jet exhaust ports so as to supply required thrust for propelling the craft whether it is configured for land, water or air or snow. 14. An amphibian delta wing jet aircraft, which has a fuselage that can be configured as an airplane form, a water craft form, a snow craft form and a land vehicle form comprising: a) a body which tapers along a longitudinal axis and houses at least one jet engine and at least an aft cockpit; b) a hull which abuts said body and tapers along a longitudinal axis and has the characteristic of a lifting body; c) a plurality of triangular folding wing panels two of which are hingedly attached to said body, wherein two fins protrude through said hull of said craft at a perpendicular to a surface of said hull. 15. The amphibian delta wing jet aircraft as defined in claim 13, wherein an interior portion of said fin passes through said hull and bends vertically so as to be perpendicular to said deck 14, and serves as a structural member to strengthen the craft. 16. The amphibian delta wing jet aircraft as defined in claim 13, wherein on axes at an aft distal end of said each fin is pivotally attached a rudder, which is utilized for steering the craft, when configured as a water craft and alternatively also utilized for braking the crafts speed by bringing both rudders together, or apart. 17. The amphibian delta wing jet aircraft as defined in claim 1, wherein with respect to the ground when the craft is sitting on the ground on its wheels, or when it is rolling on the ground in the land vehicle mode, pivotally attached at a lower aft edge line of said hull is a lower set of control surfaces, wherein said lower set of control surfaces can be independently moved and positioned so as to help control the longitudinal declination, lateral bank and yaw of the craft when configured as an aircraft. 18. The amphibian delta wing jet aircraft as defined in claim 1, wherein with respect to the ground when the craft is sitting on the ground on its wheels, or when it is rolling on the ground in the land vehicle mode, pivotally attached at an upper aft edge line of said hull is an upper set of control surfaces, wherein said upper set of control surfaces can be independently moved and positioned so as to help control the longitudinal inclination, lateral bank and yaw of the craft when configured as an aircraft.
