Another attempt to build a flying submarine

Boats, planes can fly as U-fiction entertainment in the years have been funded for many. Already in 1960, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea movies and TV series, a sub flying is often used for exploration, in the belly of a big U-boat called Seaview was included.

A futuristic car, two submersible pumps and can fly, is saved from certain disaster in the James Bond films of the genre. Of course, a submarineBecome a plane is still science fiction fantasy, and not all there in the world today.

The difficulty in creating such an invention is why a submarine flying today exists only in the imagination of Hollywood entertainment. require the construction of such a vehicle would be material to meet the unique and diverse needs of a submarine and an aircraft.

Airplanes are designed to be light and lively. U-boats onWeight instead of being submerged in order to maintain as water under pressure to be thin. The differences in the density of water and air, at speed and make the loading of aircraft and submarine design requirements that work against each other in reality. This is because the Navy failed attempt several years ago in a U-boat, the construct can fly.

In 1964, the Bureau of Naval Weapons awarded a contract to Convair to study the feasibility of a"Diving seaplane" which launched the "Sub-level", which was involved in the project. Convair The study found that such a craft is "feasible" and has awarded a contract for the company, but only two years later, the Navy would cancel the project.

However, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) thinks that the date right now is to have contractors bid on the opportunity to daily reality of fiction yesterday is a modern Hollywood. DARPAhas a budget of between 3 billion and the agency already offers built by defense contractors in response to its commitments Request for Proposal (RFP), a submarine aircraft of the future.

The Defense Agency wants a submersible airplane, which are the main functions of the three platforms could be combined: construction (1) the speed and scope of an aircraft, (2) the ability of a boat, and (3) stealth of a submarine. Combining the positive features of each platform,DARPA hopes to a craft that will significantly improve U.S. tactical advantage in coastal insertion missions to be developed.

The proposed trade would hold eight soldiers plus all their gear and was able to support them in a craft surface float for 72 hours. Would be 1,000 miles and a submerged antenna range of 12 miles area. Certainly it would be a flying submarine to be of great benefit to the use of special forces deployed in difficult and dangerousMissions.

The world is on the verge of a revolution in building materials. Nano-technology research and production of new innovative building materials in the laboratory, which is stronger than steel at a fraction of the weight.

Thus, the right time to do Hollywood science fiction fantasy a reality. In fact, is the latest attempt by the U.S. military to try to build the submarine steering wheel.
