Viśvambhara · Aerospace

One parametric family.
Three scales of swarm.

Viśvambhara is EduRankAI's frontier aerospace research line. The flagship VESPER concept demonstrates one design philosophy across three scales: a 3.2 g bee-class micro-UAV, a 38 t blended lifting body that carries 100,000 bees from atmosphere to orbit, and a 28,000 t interplanetary command vessel that commands 50 million bees across the solar system.

CONCEPT / MVP — figures are first-order engineering estimates for a design study, not flight-qualified data. Three tiers share one parametric family: the bee is rotor-borne; both ships are blended lifting bodies sized for surface → orbit → interplanetary flight.

Tier 01

VSP-M1 · Bee

Rotor-borne micro-UAV. Wing acts as radar aperture and silent glide surface.

32 mm rotor span
3.2 g all-up mass
6 min flight · 6h perch

Tier 02

VSP-M2 · Mother

Blended lifting body. Same airframe loiters in atmosphere, then SSTO on variable-cycle engines.

24 m × 17.5 m × 4.8 m
38 t MTOM · 9.4 km/s Δv
Carries 100,000 bees

Tier 03

VSP-G1 · Grandmother

Crewed interplanetary command vessel. Magnetoplasma cluster. Berths 500 Mother Ships.

240 m × 150 m × 46 m
28,000 t · 30 km/s Δv
Commands 50M bees
