My concerns about whether or not the vehicle would work are based not on
how it enters or exits the water, but on its performance in each medium.
I think you could probably do it if you were determined enough; but I
suspect that a vehicle that is strong enough to plow through the water
yet light enough to fly isn't going to do well at either task. Of
course, if this is sci-fi, you can fudge the details :)
